i love these types of shot. you can almost ask this guy a question. pity about the DNMC but hey ho. Not sure on the border though
The only thing i might have done was to sharpen again and make it a little raw.

Good work

Got the truck runnin' yet?

Comment by Brookied:
great shot, you can nearly smell the truck and the rusting is almost there to touch, well done on the Ribbon. as before the only thing lacking from yourself is the "Suck" factor. ;-)

I got it and I gave you an 8 in voting, for being OOB. I wasn't fond of the orange border.

Jeb, I think this is certainly a nice portrait. I guess black and white can mean different things as represented by your shot. I would have to say this is out of the box and I actually think it was a neat idea. Keep up the good work.

I wouldn't have considered it DNMC but I'd have preferred it to be either shot in or processed to Black and White as most photogs understand the term. And that's mostly because I prefer darn near everything in B&W most days. I figure you knew exactly what you were doing with this shot - by that I mean entering a color photography showing black and white. (There was a challenge a while back called "black and white in color" for which this would have been quite appropriate.)

As a portrait - the gentleman in the photograph has character and draws my interest for that reason. The lighting is a bit harsh and didn't quite make it to his eyes, which is one thing I do like to see in portraits - eyes. (They're the window to the soul and all that.) The red of the background is nice to add color, complementing your subject well, but I'm not fond of the wooden thingamabobs - a smooth texture would probably be better. It's a good picture, much better than a simple snapshot, but not a "great" portrait. I'd suggest you shoot this gentleman again - he's a terrific subject.

But what do I know? You're up to 63 comments and two favs! And you have a ribbon!
