Thanks for what I consider an ultimate compliment on my image Cole.
To be compared with Gary, well, what can I say but wow!

And thanks to all that left such positive and complimentary words on this.

You're the only one on this site that I would hire specifically, to remove those darker circles under her eyes, if I needed an editor. Whassup wit dat?

Thanks Steve.
Wassup with the dark circles or the hiring part ;)

Here is the original:


I am trying really hard to not make my shots a PS creation, just natural enhancements.
I am getting there as far as getting it right in-camera, all in manual mode, including flash.

Superb focal point here.
The overall subdued tones add a very strong impact and contribute to the mood in a huge way.
Well done!

Man with cigar

I really like the overall tones and lighting on this.
One thing that has bugged me since I first saw it, was the angle and position of the cigar. It is following the same diagonal as his nose and in ways, at first glance, looks like it is coming out of his nose or out of the underside of his upper lip. Had the cigar been positioned differently, I suspect this shot would have had far more appeal.

Very pleasant color palette and something that could adorn the walls at any paint store or office supply.

I love moments like this.
Did you try a black & white conversion on this? I bet it would simply rock!
