Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A60
Location: Fort Worth, Texas
Date: Apr 30, 2005
Aperture: 4.8
ISO: auto
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Black and White, Photojournalism
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2009

 Taken at May Fest on April 30, 2005 on my Canon Powershot. I love that little camera!! Two of my three highest scores are on that camera. Would be totally funny to get another with this one. Sometimes I think all the fancy equipment and do-dads just bog us down. This is a very simple image, on a very simple point & shoot.
From the original (I can't believe I found it. Thank god for old disk backups)I can guess the editing went something like this:
B&W in camera
rotate
sharpen
up contrast

I like this, it's a neat portrait, the crop seems a little tight however.

The focus on the eyes need to be crisper. Looks like you got your point of focus off.

Looks like a fun moment, but there is nothing exceptional about it...

Makes me wonder what the makeup is for. I'll probably check back on this one to find out what the story is.

this is a great image! it would have added a bit of humor if you had blackened the teeth on the white side :) - but maybe that would have detracted from the overall effect - well done...

a bit of reflected light onto the face with brighten things up a bit :)

Funny portrait, I'm sure it'll be a great memento.

The focus seems to be on the hat area, and not so much on the face.

This looks like it was a lot of fun to do. I wish the focus had been more on the eyes than on the head band.

to much light behind your subject, his face it to dark
