I started with two separate pictures taken at the farmers market yesterday - the rabbit and the old man in the hat - and blended. Added two texture layers, film grain filter and border.
I have no idea how you blended these, but I LOVE it. Just keeps me looking, his expression on the bunny is to die for, but he's not really there, is he? lol... wonderful idea perfectly executed.
Wow! I don't normally get that excited about photos of statutes or objects, but you have made this so incredibly artful and interesting with your angle and processing that I absolutely LOVE this! It is amazing! The human element in the background is powerful! Excellent, Roger! EXCELLENT!
wow roger this is extremely good .. love the muted colours and the tones .. excellent overlays/textures .. its like the rabbit was a man in another life or the man was a rabbit in another life .. wotever .. brilliant .. :)
ROFL - I looked at the image for a bit, was getting ready to comment, read the other comments, looked at the title, and wondered - "Old Man"? - then I looked at the image again and saw the man! I need glasses. :(
I love the image. The rabbit is a bit blown out, but not so much that it takes away from the overall impact.
Ignore Jutilda, she frequently breaks out in song like that. :P
Are you thinking of the Neil Young song? I am. This is fabulous
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
