Excellent capture of the essential nature of the subject in high-key style.

Is it my imagination..... of lyk pa maar eg Suid Afrikaner? great pic, wish I could figure out how to do that on my canon or with photoshop. Another South African, Dr Martin Brink, perfected the same technique using film.

I have always been attracted to this style of image. There is a touch of profundity to anything properly treated (not every image can be converted to this style) in this manner.

I like the threshold effect. Something different that's not practiced much in the digital age. Works well with the light side, dark side lighting you used.

I would have loved to see this image in a low key B&W rather than this threshhold treatment.

without the editing this might have been a great portait.

even though the photographic aspect of this one seems to have gone out the window, but it looks good. I would like to see a black and white of this instead.

This will probably get marked down, but I really like it. Sketch techniques are pretty cool. Great, tight shot on the subject also.

Nice shot and use of filters or lighting effects. - 7

nicely done, great use of mono, better viewd from a distance, hang this one on your wall!

I think this could have been a good portrait, but the post-processing or in-camera effect has turned this more into "digital art" than a photograph.
Post actions
IMHO This has been overprocessed and has gone from the domain of photography into the domain of digital art. Under the current rules, I can not give this a very high score...

awesome shot. this is a damn good use of extreme contrast.

Wonderful portrait. Bit less contrast would have been my preference but effective use of technique.

I like the picture, but it's a bit too contrasted for me

Interesting ly done. It works.

This looks more abstract The lighting seems a bit harsh

this looks like it would have been a great portrait of your dad - I like the tight crop and his relaxed pose. I don't care for the posterization effect, however, as it obscures the details in his eyes.

Unique but to me, it lacks detail. BOL

Thank goodness..somebody else trying a similar techinique to the one I`ve submitted.

I like this, I am sure it captures the essence of your Dad.

A little over the edge in the contrast for my tastes. I very much like the idea and the pose, but I would have liked the effect to a lesser degree.
Post actions
very nice work... u may want to consider cleaning out that small black spot in the upper left corner. = 9

nice aggressive crop...I don't care for the effect that you used but I can't condemn the photo...it is all in all nicely done
