 Thanks to my son Izaak for posing (he loves it really) The guitar is a Gretsch and I love it to death, it's my favorite guitar for jamming on as it has such a rich tone.

Lightroom and used recovery to get the blown areas a bit more balanced, a touch of fill light to highlight the face a bit, desaturated.

Opened in photoshop, Lucisarts first wipe was quite strong to pump up the contrast then noise ninja to smooth it out a bit, another light run with lucis to get the texture i wanted.

I like this shot (that's why I submitted it) I drove a total of 5 hours to get these shots but it was a great day out and my wife hanae had never seen the English sea before so it was great fun to see her face light up too.


est. score 6.4
dream score 7.2


I know it could be hit or miss but the memory of this day was a big HIT for the family..

Thanks for looking, see ya'll at rollover..

Nicely shot. The contrast is great.

Really admire the composition, but not so keen on the b/w conversion - not something I am any good at myself, so I can't offer anything constructive, I'm afraid.

This is a great portrait composition and lighting wise, I wish he didn't look so uncomfortable.:)
