My Grandfather

[V.Alonso]

i took this pic yesterday, and i jut edited it a bit in ps

comments and criticism welcome

In my opinion its way too dark

Way underexposed and way too much red saturation. Crop in a lot tighter. The pose and expression are great though, which is the true heart of the image. The rest is just post-processing.

thanx guys.....ill try a crop later....and ill post the results.

thanks again

ok so how does this look?

now youll notice that the background has some frames in the background, that was the reason for the black background in the other pic

all i did with the pic above was crop, bump contrast and lower the saturation

TIA

Your grandpa, huh? What a good sport he is! But I bet there's little he wouldn't do for the grandkid.

I do like you're edit... nice improvement. The little bit of detail in the background doesn't bother me.

Nice goin'!

the crop is better.... i think it may work well in B&W as well

I've taken your picture and done some editing myself. The shots below are: your original, my edit, and the B&W conversion (my favourite). Let me know what you think!
