It was actually a candid shot... I had gone out for ice cream with my girlfriend and my friend Scott. He had just received his order at the next window over when I thought that the textures of the wall, floor, and his feet made a very traditional feeling composition, and snapped off a shot.
I post-processed it a good bit to give it a definite "aged" feel, but without the sort of cliche sepia or a simple vingette. The image in my head when I composed it was definitely a muted, thick, brush-stroked feel ala Rockwell (good catch, irispetra).
Another under rated photo - This is just wonderful -I think DPC voters don't like th gimicky edges but it works sooo well in this photo, ANd what a pose!!!
My favourite shoes. I believe that the softness of the picture is on purpose, but I think the image would be better overall if it were sharper and in focus.
the way the some of the shadows are making the image a bit flatter, it looks like the guys left ankle is broken or at the very least is a very ackward position.
