Country singer

I tried to give this a 50's country look, something reminicent of

Country & Western Ledgends like Buck Owens or Ray Price . I don't

know if I was successful, I just used my imagination. Comments,

critiques welcome.

I can almost here the drawl in his voice. This shot makes me contemplate what song he was singing... Excellent capture. Great little details (like the brick). Very nice indeed Linda.

Nice work ! I like the tone and tune , effective ! Robert

Great composition. I would have maybe dropped the red tone back a little, but not much. Great timing as well, with the expression on his face. Ditto, the comment on the little things, like the brick. Reminiscent of when i used to tack up books under my foot to lift my leg (for classical guitar playing).

very good portrait for this scene.. Regards

Great, effective treatment, capturing grittiness and nostalgia. Your son? One of the band? This could have been lifted from the archives of the Grand Ole Opry. From a kid who was raised on Hee-Haw, this resonates. Oops, did I admit that???

This is a great moody picture. It really brings a feeling through. Good job.

Linda...this is a great idea and I love the details in this shot. I enjoyed "wandering" through it :) I agree on the comment to decrease the red a bit in the tones...but not much. Also, you might want to add some grain to add to the grittiness and old time look. Just a thought.

Linda, I think you were very successful in creating the feel you were looking for (50's). Really nice job all around.

Well done Lida. Bravo.

Thanks for commenting. I appreciate it and am glad you like it.

 

Warm Regards,

Hi Robert,

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment.

Great use of coloring to achieve effect! Does make it almost timeless. Congrats on a wonderful image.... regards....LJ

Jeff,

 

Thank you. I was trying for that nostalgic old cowboy look. Nope, this isn't my son, this is a friend of his, Sam. He's with another band, Country Fair.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks Richard,

 

I'm glad you like it.

 

 

 

Hi Leslie,

 

Thanks for commenting. I think I will try it again with the red toned down a bit. I like your suggestion of the grain. I wish I had thought of that. Good advice!

 

All the best,

 

Linda

Wow! Fantastic Linda. I love the tones and great timing. Regards Andrea

The passion in his face belongs in any era, even our own. Aesthetically, I think the sepia is a tad deep, but this is strictly a matter of personal taste.

nice detail... I like the toning application
