The shadows on his face thrown by the hat are greatly diminished. Is it realistic? Don't know. Aside from that, the switch from color to black and white soups up the image tremendously. He is now an aviator, contrasty contrails and clouds echoing the brightness of the face and beard. It's now an heroic image, celebrating a life of adventure, outside in the elements.
Personal favorite of the challenge. |
