This is Amazing! I love the old-timey slight grain. And I do believe I see his soul through those eyes!

| Every year in my home town, the civil war comes to life in the biggest event of its' kind in California. Funny to have in California, right?! One year, I took my daughters (ages 7 and 9 at that time), and they promptly wore their peace sign outfits complete with tie died shirts! Oh well...I don't think they will go again, but I like to go as a photographer with an interest in history despite the fake blood and guts. I rarely see anyone else shoot these type of photos on DPC so I was surprised to come across this one! Well done! |

| This had setzler written all over it! Masterful portraiture well enhanced by the grain, even if photos from that era weren't actually grainy. :) |

| Glad to see this one do so well, John. One of my highest votes. Classic, timeless, lovely to contemplate. I'd have expected to see a ribbon on this, myself... |

| This image is expertly captured and carries the essence of this challenge. I am besides myself that it was not honored by a ribbon. By far, the strongest study without pretense of presentation. It is honest and expertly composed with the best use of grain. |

| One of the most outstanding studies wherein the grain is used to full advatange to enhance what already is an outstanding image. Returning for final bump. |

Beautifully rendered portrait! The lighting could not have been better! I like the feel of this image a lot!
Edit: I left the "not" out and it didn't say what I meant...all fixed.

| one of my favorites this challenge -- you and your model work well together -- like the direct eye in the camera - grain adds to the old-time feel |

| My absolute favorite entry in this challenge. Ofcourse I'm also a Civil War buff - so I'm sure that's part of it. I like the young lad's eyes, and the tight composition. Good luck in the challenge - hope you get a ribbon with this one. 10 |

| Very dramatic, the sad, young face. God forgive him, yes, very appropriate. |

| Very nice, one of the few I've seen so far to successfully use grain. |

Very striking portrait, I love his tilt away from the frame to expose the gun.
I would like to see the grain less evenly spread out, you can do this on a seperate layer with eraser brush here and there, it looks too photoshopped.
I'm thinking this comes from selzter's line of portraits from his portrait project, but if I am wrong take it as a compliment... It's a wonderful series!

| Like the crop on this one. The corners of the hat are especially well placed. Good grain without being overwhelming. |

| Good lighting and nice B&W. Grain really makes this seem like a turn of the century photo (except for the clarity of the shot, which is nice!) |
