Thanks for your input Karl. Yes indeed, this is a snapshot. I aimed the camera, and snapped the button. But thats where I started. I then spent some time coming up with this version of the original that you see here. I put this pic in for criticism and/or rating to get someone elses point of view. Working on it after a while I cant get objective and need a fresh look to bring me back to reality. Here is the original shot. Would you still consider this a snapsht?

Yes Noel, definately a face carved in time. He is a nice guy with an interesting past. Thanks for your comment.

To the idiotic putz who gives everyone a 3/3 or 3/4 go away and get a life. Isnt there anything we can do with this character besides just ignore him?

Great portrait. His face is a roadmap of his life. Being in B&W doesnt detract from this at all. Well done.

Thanks for your time. Your criticism is appreciated.

Thank you Milena. I just checked out your portfolio and find you have captured and expressed much emotions with your photos. Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed looking.

Because you rated my photo I had the info to come visit your portfolio. Very nice indeed. This is a rather haunting photo. It would be interesting to see the dog with glowing red eyes.

Jim and Carlos, I appreciate your taking the time.

Thanks for pointing out the missing water on the streetcar Raymond. I couldnt figure out what was missing. That little detail would have made the car fit in even better. Oh, well another time, another shot. This is the first time using my lcd screen and a 3d object. The possibilities are endless. I will be posting another one tonite if all goes well. Im thinking something Star Wars or Frankenstein.

And thanks for your response MS Keil.

Not sure where this pic fits in. Its a marriage of 2D and 3D, but

still a single shot. I photographed a San Francisco streetscene

painting and opened it in Photoshop to fill the screen of my laptop.

Then, suspending a toy streetcar with fishing line, I positioned it so

it optically and perspective wise fit in the scene. After shining a

light bulb to illuminate the interior of the streetcar and pointing a

small flashlight at the front I shot the final pic. I was pleased the

way the cars on the left actually reflected off the side of the

streetcar adding realism. Using Mystic Light plugin I added the

headlight and beam, along with the green lights on the roof. Finally I

touched up the DOCKS BAY signage and cloned out the visible fishing

lines for the final look. The whole thing took about 5 hours to complete.

Thanks Enny. I appreciate any encouragement.

Thanks for looking and any criticisms

Thanks for your comments. Point well taken about the reddness. Funny, I never really noticed it because its her skin color and Im used to it.

Actually it was open. It was early Sunday morning and the stores werent open. There were a few people in the photo but since this is a HDR image they were deleted by Photomatic.

Your comments are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Lex I agree with you about this not being Street photography. But I didnt know what category this would fall under. Its not exactly architecture. And no one is nude so I placed it as close as I could. I appreciate your comment.

A nice house down the street. Thanks for looking.

I appreciate you taking the time.
