Had to look up what Tri-X meant (I am not a 'photographer') so learned something. Sure it is allowed, doesn't have to be 'digital' in a Portfolio. This site needs people with your skills/images like these. Thank you.

Not sure how this shows putting something off. Do you really wonder about crossing the whole street as opposed to half of it?

What a shame...this is an incredibly well done photo...nice choice of fish eye and composition...great choice of black and white...but the picture feels shoe horned (forced). It is as if you are trying to pawn off a great shot in a challenge for which it doesn't really fit. I'd normally give this an 8 or 9 if it was dead on the challenge but since it feels forced I'm adjusting it to 7...great shot though!

Thanks for all the comments guys - His mother wanted a "Nice" portrait of him so I OK - He was a young lad who always looked prim and proper - He went to private school etc. I asked him if he wanted to do something different and he was really up for it - So I asked him to go back in the house and collects some old jeans, scruffy shoes and a T-shirt he normally does not wear. His mum packed him off in the car with me (We knew each other through family by the way) His hair all done etc - We then drove to a location I had seen many times before - Ruffed up his hair and took the pic - After the initial shock his mum loved the pic and put it pride of place in the home.

Originally posted by macrothing: Very nice image. The b&w works very well but curious about the color (if there was one). Taking the liberty of adding to Favorites.

Thanks very much - This was actually taken with Tri-X and then scanned on the Nikon 9000ED - Is that allowed on this site? Didn't think before I put it in my portfolio! Whoops - Surely though as it's my portfolio anything counts? Cheers
