cousin donald

taken on a sigma 10/20

I like the prior Cousin Donald much better than this one. This one is highly unflattering to the subject in a way that doesn't seem to have any point unless it's to make him look like a doddering freak (sorry for being so blunt). What I mean is, this rendering strikes me as somehow disrespectful to the subject (in an aesthetic sense). I also don't like the added grain in the image. It looks like a photoshop effect. Having seen the previous image, you definately have a worthy subject here. Just my gut reactions to the images. Good luck with them. Mead
