Another wonderful thread.
I think the Tax Free sign & models, with the person walking along is a great example of this genre.
Thanks a lot Kay
Jean, your edited 'blue boy' is a stunner to my mind.
Cheers Ole
What a nice expression That black umbrella distracts Jean, but I think you can crop some of it without harming the drawing on the RHS. And may be you can change the color of it to grey I like the image because the man looks happy and he draws people who look happy. So, there seems to be a connection between his mood and his drawings.
PS. I like the conversion.
Oh tricky ...
Mod 1.5 for me
That's with crop of top and a slightly brighter face, but not quite as bright (low contrast) as "mod 1" is.
In flicking between them all; trying to decide, I found the white triangle lower right of frame started to attract my attention unduly, partly because it is sharp as well as bright, so if it were mine, I'd try a subtle tone down and blur - barely enough to notice.
He does have a great expression, well shot.
Mod 1 for me Jean The umbrella works nicely as a frame and as a part of the environment in mod 1. It is also more obvious in mod 1 that he is a street portraitist and he made the drawing on the RHS. I agree with Dave about toning down the white triangle.
Of course some more PP might work fine Jean. But as I said in my first post , the expression of the man makes the image for me and I like the way he reflects the same expressions in his drawing ( especially in the looks of the couple). Actually, this is what matters to me and the rest is just some minor revisions
I too prefer the mono, but then I am partial to b&w. Nice shot.
Sergio
#13 portraitist, missed this one. Nicely captured, the couple looks very happy also; were they still posing while you captured the artist?
Agree about #14, the glaring light must've been a chore to work with.
So am I.I too prefer the mono, but then I am partial to b&w.
Thank you Sergio.
