With a fill flash, this would have been sooo great. Now it's still quite cool.

What beautiful lighting. I'm not sure if this is taken with a diffraction filter, soft focus or just a little motion blur. The effect is largely the same. You have evoked a feeling of a minstrel strumming a gentle lullaby in a dark bedroom, perhaps that of a young child, lit by a night light or something.

I wonder if this effect might even be heightened by a slight drop in brightness to really give it a gentle feel. The light on the hand is just a bit strong.

Thanks for posting this pic. It's a great style that I hope one day I might find a situation to imitate.

Hey, Neat capture! What an interesting subject. I like your treatment of the tones. I wonder if you could get in there with a burning tool to try to take care of some of the overexposed areas near the top and on the branches.

Maybe a little bit of a grunge treatment could bring out a feeling of disuse and lack of maintenance and TLC.

It's pretty neat as is, just trying to give some ideas.

I wish he had better lighting. I can't appreciate his beautiful coat because it's too dark. Great perspective. Maybe work with curves and bright and contrast to up the color a bit.

The selective desat works well however I don't think this qualifies for a high key image. There is still too much gray in the the image. High key is mostly black and white without any loss of detail. Great job on getting the flagpole straight and not "leaning". I wish there was more room on the right hand side so that the dome is not abruptly cut off the frame.

Well done I agree. There's a lot of things to keep my eyes busy as I move from one side of the image and work my way around it. I think the desat works well here. Great image.
