 This probably wont do very well, but I like it anyways.


Post: It is interesting to see that there is such a broad range of comments on this photo. I do agree that the Dragonizer effect that I used is a bit over the top. I will probably upload a different version to my portfolio sometime.

Story: I bought a carpet off this man. He had some very nice carpets and I definitely enjoyed learning about them from him. His english name: Sammy

this looks really cubic, maybe due to resizing of JPG, but looking aside that fact, a really nice composed image, and the colors are really nice

Way overprocessed causing a very harsh feel to this image especially when the subject is trying to smile.
