[LeSueur24]

Got quite bored today, and this is the result. Canon 430EZ to camera left and Canon 430EX camera right.

Lemme know what you think

it's very good. i like it a lot. the only critisism i have is that the shadow on (your) left side of your face is kinda weird or awkward.. (from the shovel) but its really just a nitpick. nice job.

I'm sure that's a pitchfork.

Nice work LeSueur24. It looks a bit cartoonish and the flash is harsh (left arm), but a great expression.

I was sort of going for the cartoon-ish effect with the editing, and I didn't really pay attention to the shadow until I started editing it. Same with the flash, but I figured that I took like 6 of these that the expression/composition of this one came out too well to re-shoot. Thanks for the comments.

blah, I stand corrected :greenpbl:

Really nice! My only preference would be to have the tips of the pitchfork withn the frame... But that's really minor! I love the style, and the high contrast...

The expression on your face fits and the pp is is good. Well done.

I just looked at your Flickr site and man, you have some awesome bmx pics.... And, when I say bmx, I think that means bike. lol

Reshoot wearing 'hick' clothes. Do everything else exactly the same. Then you have a money shot.

(still good as is, of course)

 

[LeSueur24]

Thanks guys, and yeah federer one day I'll probably do a full on shoot maybe with some other people.

[flipstylephoto]

cool shot, what kind of processing for that affect?

 

[LeSueur24]

Well it's a .raw file, so a lot of the color came from there, plus clarity and fill light which helps give it more of that cartoon look. From there I did a little bit of shadows and highlights, then did a high pass filter and filtered it for soft light.
I also did some blur and erased it for myself. And some sharpening of course.
