Composition and emotion in this shot are awesome. The expressiveness and direct look in his eyes are classic. Agree with Amy.....would be cool to see it processed w/out the NI.
Hey Shail :-) This has some really cool tones, so I think the b&w part of your post-processing was a big hit - well done! I can't believe how mean some people are with the comments. I agree that you went too far with the noise reduction and I would've made that comment had I voted on Candid. But I wish people would give criticism in a slightly less sarcastic way. Anyway, great job with the b&w, super title, nice capture. Just for fun, maybe you could try reprocessing without the NI and see how it looks. The composition is brilliant.
this could have been brilliant..but over sharpened and too much NI skin looks plastic. no detail in the blacks on the jacket and his hair. This image is generally over-processed
I like the scowl and emotion in the face, but to me it is ran through neat image or whatever you used to reduce noise and the skin on the hands and face seem to be abit plastically looking, gave it a 5
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
A LOT of neat image used here, and don't really see the need. Would have liked to see less neat image and true facial features. Nice eye emotion though.
Some artifacts call my attention at face, hands and forehead/hair boundaries. This could be done at post-process curves abuse or multiple light sources.
