Challenge: Color Portrait III (Advanced Editing VII)

Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D

 Tim is a vendor at a flea market I go to every so often, and today he was sporting a relatively fresh scar on his cheek which he got at work (demolition). I like men with interesting faces, and Tim's face with this scar all tell us that he's had a pretty interesting life!

So after wandering around looking for other interesting people to shoot for the challenge, I managed to get some good shots of Tim between visitors to his booth.

I know this pic is going to be up against a lot of similar craggy-faced guys and flawless pretty girls and cute li'l kids, but I think it'll grow on people.

I was about to write what Tom did: technically perfect but what do i know about technique?! The processing here is so restraint that it was striking to see a "real" photo when all the tools for changing one are so easily available. Excellent job. You captured some of the vulnerability we all hide deep down.

Textbook portrait. Well done and not over processed.

A pretty good shot of Tim, but I feel like it could use a bit more vibrance.
