Hello,
fresh stuff!!
I had the chance to take some photos of a friend of mine
with his guitar in a lake.
D70s + 18-70mm (kit lense)
I'd love to hear your comments and your criticism.
Thanks a lot,
theodoros

Very creative, for me the halo glow around the guy is perhaps a little too strong, I think knocking it back a notch or two would make the image less over the top in a PP sense.
That said you have been delivering some creative and unique images recently so keep it up.

Very nice technique.
Particularly like what you did with the sky.
really makes the person stand out.

This is a great idea Thodorus. I agree with what Craig said about the halo effect.

this is an excellent example of strong concept and narative in an image
which makes this image more in depth than others without a cocnept
and your execution of it is great
but i seriously think the extra sepia tone is not needed, to me you would do it heaps more justice just leavign it black and white
this image doesn't need extra tricks it's already fantastic

Nice work here...
Can I ask, Is the guitarist cut and pasted from another image? Is he actually jumping? Hard to imagine how he could have jumped that high unless he is a super basketballer?

Thank you surenj.
It is one photo. He jumped from the boat. I could post some more "jumping" images from this angle. I asked him to jump about 20 times

Great Photo Iposiniditos regardless which way you have PP'd it. Its always good to see such a great photo from the D70 and kit lens, it reminds me that you dont always need all the good gear for perfect photos. Mind you Im sure it helps
Save writing another post, your Oxymoron set are great.
Cheers
Steve
