The Way of All Flesh

Ah - this was you: are you familiar with John Coplans' work? This has nuances of some of his portraits and self-portraits. Don't I wish we could have had a truly "Unromanticised Nude" Challenge, or Nude Abstract. The plastic nudes leave me unmoved...obviously I'm a minority vote. But the real beauty of flesh as it takes on life, is a powerful subject. A bold, brave entry.

Old Gold - The Goodest

I wonder if you had run this through "Neat Image" if it might have created a more silky effect on the coat? There is a lot of noise in this image, which si a pity, because it is a great portrait. I might have adjusted Balance/Contrast too, to take down the blown out spots on the ear and chest? Great subject for the challenge.
