a "Draganized" image of my father inspired by my original self portrait at //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=58218

This photo treatment is meant to emulate the look of Andrzej Dragan (//www.andrzejdragan.com/), whose photos are absolutely stunning in their character and detail.

My dad was a good sport here. I particularly like his long dirty fingernails.

Funny. The dodge work really emphasizes the subject.

It's an interesting shot, but I do not get the title.

I dont get the title, but I'm sure it will be more clear once the challenge ends. Great job on the idea and execution.

For some reason, this reminds me of Samuel Beckett (plays by him).

Great work, I wish I could stick my dad in a hole (just kidding). Great use of light to enhance the subject.

Nice touch of humor. Lighting just a touch harsh in a couple of minor spots. Overall a very good job!! I like the fact it doesn't appear to be overworked in a photo editing program. Good Luck

What an awesome piece of technical perfection!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

? The title is a little confusing. Birth canal reference? Inside joke?

Other than that, it's a cool photo.. funny, different.. nice processing.

I did a doubletake here... This guy looks like a roughed-up Mike Bloomberg, Mayor of New York.

Nobody believed he existed, but here alas is the Moleman of Istanbul.


Crisp and clean. Captured the expression quite well

Excellent photo. I don't EVEN want to know about the title, however. It scares me.
