A very cool effect proving the high caliber of talent that resides in DPC. Amazing.

What makes it amazing is that here a special effect has been raised to a mascot of Americana. Oftentimes we start to follow an idea and we force things into place. Sometimes the results are a mish-mash. This, however, is that supreme exception where the spirit of creation takes the drivers seat. Let us examine the image.

First is probably a 4x8 board with a cutout. A mosrt appropiate background to confound the viewer. The simple frame and last but not least, the model. I mean, look at this kid in baseball gear. Look at the expression, the healthy look, the gaps between the teeth. Sweet enough? Now, look at the wall paper in relationship to the color stitching of the baseball and look at how the baseball is not at all sharp but just the right fuzziness to aid the effect. Now study the angle and the passive position of the right hand as opposed to the active left. Well, here is a special effect that is surpassed by the message it delivers. A truly impressive and an unforgettable image.

The light is so nice on the snow, it distracts from your subject.
