Now this is more of the Joey L, look.

I like the way he looks and this really is a great photograph.

Kobi, I know I've told you how much I love this photo already, but I want to tell you again how much character is oozing from his face. There's a harshness about his "story", but there's a sparkle in his eyes. You did such great photojournalism over there!

Why would you over process such a good photo?
11/07/2008 01:45:32 PM
Wish the eyes were sharper. If I had a beard like that I don't think I'd be smoking, haha.

This looks a little overdone. I like the detail you have managed to acheive but feel that in this case less might have been more.

Wish his nails hadn't been so filthy but I guess he really wouldn't know what to do with a nail brush anyway!
I love this image though. Lighting is superb and I don't think you could have cropped it any better.

Very nice picture, but I think you sharpened it far too much as indicated by the unnatural texture of the beard and skin but mostly the white fringe around the hoodie.

Interesting subject.. but a bit over the top on the processing for me.. it looks like he is a cutout pasted on top of the background..

I love up-close portraits like this. Post processing is very dramatic and emphasizes the rough side of your subject. Wonderful work! 10

well processed, brings to the mind the Jethro Tull song Aqualung..I can almost smell his rotting breath and find today's lunch in that beard!

Interesting angle and wonderful character in the facial expression. Background looks a little odd (light halo most of the way around his hood).

Harsh, real, & gritty. Terrific tones! Nice! 9
