 Elvis and I were eating breakfast, coffee for me, fried peanut butter sandwich for him, I was looking at the new challenges ad DPC, he was reading our favorite paper. Conspiracy! We put on our hidden identity jackets and went down to the hidden bunker. popped the camera on the tripod and used a clamp-lamp with a 60w bulb for that secret agent lighting. Shot in RAW and pulled some of the yellow out of the light, dumped to PS where I edited out some inapropriate highlights ( the man uses so much Brylcream that his pomp shine more than the chrome on the stretch Fleetwood) his face came out a bit flat so I dodged his nose,cheek, and forehead a bit to make him look a bit better. A touch of USM and saved for web. Now you know the shocking truth.

One of my top picks in the challenge. At first I looked at this and thought it was just 2 guys reading the tabloids and then I finally realized it was Elvis. Nice job and great lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/18/2005 10:22:30 AM
Oh I KNEW someone would do Elvis!

Awesome!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/18/2005 10:21:10 AM
LOL that's really clever!. kind of random, but funny. Elvis' expression is dumb, but I highly doubt that you could have changed it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/18/2005 10:14:46 AM
I wanna know how you did this one when its over!! Good Job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/18/2005 05:49:17 AM
Hey there is Elvis...I knew he had to be hiding in here somewhere....well put together.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/18/2005 02:54:22 AM
This is a really nicely done image and the only think I think doesn't really work is the black space in the upper-left corner. If the tabloid were held a little bit closer then you might be able to crop of a little bit more of the left side to tighten the frame up a bit.

This is great. Love the Elvis image and the newspaper. The lighting is perfect for the whole idea!

 09/18/2005 12:22:53 AM
Interesting concept....pretty creative with the coat and Elvis thing going on. Thing this could benefit from a bit more generous lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

lovely dark work, and the first of the handful of entries I've seen so far that actually meets the challenge!
