As soon as I saw this I said to myself; It can't be and tried to find a historical figure that looked like him. lol
Wow, didn't know Stevie had his own statue. Cool. I saw him perform three times, I was shocked the day he died and I still miss having him come around these parts. Thanks for the memories. :)
I like the composition here. I would like to see a little more contrast, a lot more depth of field, and fewer shadows. I do like this, though... and love SRV.
Meets Challenge 10 Impact 8 Technicals 5 Processing 5 Creativity 6 Total (weighted) 7 Light on the left side of the picture lets this down , which is a shame as I believe if you could have controlled the lighting of the sun :-) your score would have been higher.
When I lived in Austin, years ago, I heard about this statue but never went to see it regrettably. I like the framing of the picture and the subject. The lighting seems to be around midday or mid-afternoon which really causes limited contrasts to the statue. The blown out buildings in the background are a nice touch but seem tilted. Black and white was a good choice as well. Anyway, knowing limited DPCers in the Austin area I would think that this is love.
MAN I LOVE STEVIE!!!!! You've done a good job with this photo, my only suggestion would be a bit of light on the face - good black and white - nice job
I like your idea, but would have liked to see more light on the face. Perhaps if shot from the other side, it would have also put more emphasis on the guitar? My eye is drawn more to the cloak than anything that is particularly "Stevie."
