Suggested improvement: If only we could see the dogs face instead of his rear
Agreed, but that's what you get with a spur of the moment candid. Too bad this was a few weeks too early for the candid challenge. It would certainly do way better than my actual entry.
first impression suggested HDR (I see it's Topaz now), which I thought was a bit 'rad' being a new technique on an old-time subject. Nothing wrong with that, of course. I agree with the others about it being a great environmental portrait. (But have you tried it in mono with a sepia tint?)
you have a great balance of post processing here. I don't like the ones that are over-done and you have hit the mark well here IMHO. I love this photo.
wonderfully exciting photo. I love all his tools just strewn about him. Like a true farmer. thats how alot of places look around here. Love the lighting and his expression. Truly classic shot. Great job.
awesome! lol haven't we all known a guy like this at some point in our life? always out puttering around in the shed/garage/barn up to something with some loyal old mangy dog hanging around. nice capture, looks like a nice guy...
