Arnie 1998--recropped

This is a cropped version of the same photo I posted this morning.

That uncropped 3/4 length shot didn't convey who Arnie is--which is

somewhat of a contradiction as despite the stoic look, Arnie has a

very easy smile.

I think Arnie is better in this version!

I have two different feelings on seeing this portrait. I don´t know if I like it or not. The sepia tones definetevely are great for this vintage looking, but he is so centered, that maybe that´s the reason... I would have

shown some more of his shoulder&body.

 

I couldn´t see the previous post...

Hi Jim I tend to agree with Charo Diaz. I think your image would be much stronger if it wasn't centered.

 

Cheers,

Reminiscent of the famous portraits of old chiefs, undoubtedly this was intended. But they would have used colour if it had existed. So would I here.

excellent

Ugh Jim! Exceptionnal eyes and look. I just miss some wrinkles. I also like square format for portrait, quite suitable for this man.

the hair

this would make a gorgeous commercial print/ post card. the sepia is a beautiful touch and I actually like the grainy- even with so much texture going on in the image itself

I've always been fascinated by this spooky facepainting. Solid piece of portraiture. Are you a fan of Edward S. Curtis?

centered or not, I like the image as is.

I love this series. Great capture once again!

I also love this series, and this is one of my favorite in it. His expression is wonderful, and the traditional costume/headdress is fabulous.
