What a character - and you have captured the eccentricity well. The choice of processing is very clever, with the would-be mayor as one with the statues, or perhaps like an animation character, not quite real!
Post actions
Really like the style you gave this. The processing really makes the man seem like part of the statuary. I like your story too.
Post actions
really like how you processed this, gives it the feel that he really is part of the trio.

Terry, you didn't get kicked out of Flint again did you? Nice job on this.
Post actions
Terry, this is awesome! The processing is perfect - it beautifully captures his "character". So did he win the election? hehe.

Very clever processing - don't listen to anyone who says it's overdone because it's perfect to show the "real" similarity to the statues.

Love how to processing blurs the difference between real and statue.

I don't usually care for this kind of pp but I think it works well here.

This is where extreme editing can work. Nice capture and editing. Your subject looks remarkably like the statues he is posed beside. Bump in score.

Great photo - my second 10.

Cool shot. I like that it is something different.

Oh that's a cute composition. A bit overdone on the HDR for me (I am not a fan of HDR) but others will like it.
Post actions
Cool effects! looks like HDR.
Post actions
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

bit extreme post processing but I give 7

A bit too much tone mapping, halos are showing
Post actions
Almost looks like a painting. Nice idea and execution.

Interpretation of Topic: Interesting Choice

Excellent idea and composition. HDR treatment works fantastic here (I assume it's HDR. If not - all the better).
Post actions
Monochrome might have added to the illusion. A little too much high pass or topaz adjust. Great idea though, quirky and fun...
Post actions
What an ideal use of HDR.
Post actions
I personally don't usually go for this kind of processing but it does help the man look more like the two statues he is posing with.
Post actions
the bag and gloves are a bit distracting , a closer crop may actually help, bringing more of the hdr detail into view.
Post actions
Haha. Those statues are just asking for company.
Post actions
Really love this photo, very creative, beautiful colors, one that's standing out. Thanks for sharing. Great work.
Post actions
I wonder how this would have looked if the statues had a little less of the post processing. To make the figure look even more like them?
Post actions
not usually fan of this editing style but I think, in this case, it works well. It makes the human look more like the statues and I had to look twice to verify which were real and which were not, which intrigued me. And his bag and coat echo the statues; even his blue suit mirrors their verdigris somewhat. Very well thought out, or a lucky take. at any rate, I like what was put into this, thought wise, to make it work so well. 8 been through all the others, bump to 9 because I enjoy looking.
Post actions
I am not a fan of this over-the-top HDR treatment, but with this subject it works very well. Well done!
Post actions
Great idea for extreme tone mapping, works very well
Post actions
Very fun - and the processing suits this prefectly to make the gent on the left take on the patina of the statues!

Nice portrait. I like the processing of the black leather.

Nice HDR. Nice title and idea.

He blends in well. Your processing is great.
Post actions
creative, totally love the post processing
Post actions
I have to admit that the "Dave Hill" look is usually a bit annoying to me, but it really works here. I love how the processing really duplicates the appearance of the statues.
Post actions
that's great...excellent, clone out the water bottle in the left side...
Post actions
Humorous and HDR works very well here.
Post actions
His bag looks almost identical to the statues material. His coat is very close as well.
Post actions
The post processing works well with this image, but the composition is rather bland.
Post actions
Nice concept, very good job with the post processing.
Post actions
I really don't think that HDR style works on people shots...
Post actions
Very cool. Great idea, and well executed! Definitely can see why it's a gem!

OK Terry, I recognize two of those guys. Hopefuly, you didn't get kicked out of Flint again. Cool job on the processing. Hope all is well.
Post actions
Very IMPRESSIVE! This composition is outstanding. Seriously, for a moment there, I thought the subject was a statue with some nice paint. Such a wonderful image to view.
Post actions
LOL! Perfect title and I like the processing to make it all fit together. I hope this does well for you.
Post actions
The processing on this makes the guy, and the statues look unnatural. Normally, i dont like that effect, but I dont mind it here.. it seems to work.

Clever idea and well shot and processed.

Next time bring bags for the other two! hahah. Nice perspective!
Post actions
The processing really adds to this to make him look like one of the statues. Cool shot.
Post actions
Very nice pic - tells a story by itself. I love the title as well.
Post actions
if this isn't a suzi lawson I'll eat my hat... if it's not - you sure got the effects down!
