There were musicians at this baseball game all dressed in vintage

clothing, but it was apparent all was not just costume. Comments and

critique welcome.

Lovely!

Wayne, I like the softness in the shot and light. It really helps you focus on the face. Nice image good color. You might try pulling out his face just a bit more. On my monitor he seems to be getting lost inthe shadows a little.

Hi Wayne,

   Great image with wonderful softness, colors & lighting.  I love his hat.  Take care, Patsy

Tony,

Thanks.  Much appreciated.

Charles,

Thanks, Charles.  I agree that the face needs work.  I was about 15 to 20 feet from my subject and my background was not separated enough for my taste so I added a selective blur.  I don't think the blur hit the face so much but the combination of my distance, selective blur and not sharpening contributed to the problem.  I think I paid it little attention because it contributed to the vintage feel I was going for.

Patsy,

Thanks, Patsy.  Coming upon this vintage baseball game was definitely a treat. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying the event.

Hi Wayne, I agree with Charles on the soft light aspect. The image exudes a certain charm, no doubt from this gentlemans appearance. very nice capture.

Sincerely,

Holger

Thanks, Holger.  Much appreciated.

Richard,

Thanks.  This one kind of dictated how it wished to be processed.

Love the composition here. The man's face is the strength of the image. I would reduce the size of the frame.

Emmanuel,

Many thanks.  I would argue the size of the frame is why the subject is so prominent.
