As promised, here's the second shot of Ralph. And thought I don't really know him, I suspect that this one is a more 'accurate' portrait than the last ;-)

What a difference from yesterday's photo. Much more visually appealing and more "dirty". Yesterday's image was much more "clean" than this one, but between the two, this is my favorite.

Wow! Very different from yesterday's image. Hard to believe it's the same guy - this more gritty one still shows a sense of fun to his character.

Of the two this is my favorite.
Great processing, very gritty, looks like quite the fun character.

Very cool image. I love the cross processed treatment. It's a great portrait with the subjects cool character shining through.

Yep, there is a big difference between todays and yesterdays character. Very nice shot, more intense.

These few portraits have been great.

That hand subtracts from the whole image

Disagree, the hand absolutley makes the shot!, that and the damaged cigarette. Hope you werent on the scrounge for one Dave... Cross processing tonality in this shot is great, square crops work, but I always end up wanting to see the full-frame. Maybe by way of learning exercise you could include the unedited fullframe as reference for square cropped shots?.... good stuff.

I love the values is his hair. Nice job not letting that get too dark.

Rock on. What more is there to say?

comment by Jennifer at 01:37 PM (GMT) on 9 October, 2007

Yesterday's was 'nicer' - but this is great and as you say is probably more him! The processing works a treat.
