Elvis and I were eating breakfast, coffee for me, fried peanut butter sandwich for him, I was looking at the new challenges ad DPC, he was reading our favorite paper. Conspiracy! We put on our hidden identity jackets and went down to the hidden bunker. popped the camera on the tripod and used a clamp-lamp with a 60w bulb for that secret agent lighting. Shot in RAW and pulled some of the yellow out of the light, dumped to PS where I edited out some inapropriate highlights ( the man uses so much Brylcream that his pomp shine more than the chrome on the stretch Fleetwood) his face came out a bit flat so I dodged his nose,cheek, and forehead a bit to make him look a bit better. A touch of USM and saved for web. Now you know the shocking truth.

Ahhhh! I see elvis lives once again! Great job and congrats on the yellow Brennan :) I have definitely got to try your lens once we have our Bay Area GTG :)
WONDERFUL Idea! Love the lighting comp and expression you''ve captured! I feel like I shouldn't have happened upon these two! AAAAAAHHHHHH! 10 from me!
One of my top picks in the challenge. At first I looked at this and thought it was just 2 guys reading the tabloids and then I finally realized it was Elvis. Nice job and great lighting.
This is a really nicely done image and the only think I think doesn't really work is the black space in the upper-left corner. If the tabloid were held a little bit closer then you might be able to crop of a little bit more of the left side to tighten the frame up a bit.
SHOCKING TRUTHS REVEALED!!!!!
