Shot this one of a friends little boy, was fooling around with some curves and came up with this. At first I didn't like it, but now I do

Maybe I'm becoming too Arty Farty and need to use a Cannon 20 D

Mic.

Personally Mic I can’t work out whether you are arty or farty - probably the latter

I feel in all honesty that this has been pushed just a little too far. Or, maybe some selective cloning out might help, for example the dark lines under the eyes

Chris, I did push it that far intentionally, I thought it just looked different. in which it is.

Didn't think it would be everybody's cuppa

Mic.

I think it's pretty cool. Kind of a solarized or posterized look. I don't think you could have pushed it any further though. It's right at the limit.

The only bit that bothers me is the little spot to the right of his chin.

Keep experimenting!

I think it's a cool abstract, Mic. Of course, I generally like abstracts, so I'm easy to please. You might also want to play with leaving a little color in this type shot, like I did with the abstract I posted a few days ago.

Thanks Steve & Kerry,

Thought you 2 cool Arty Farty's might like

Something a bit different I thought.

Cheers,

Mic.

Too far for me I'm afraid. But I can see the art in it, if that makes sense.


Sorry to go OT...

SoCal Steve. My how you've aged

I do agree with SoCal, that hot spot on the chin needs to go.

I can see where your coming from mic (for once!) nice image but maybe a touch overdone.

Steve, is that your Grandpa?

Looks like the kid has a bizarre looking beard. I'm surprised you didn't go for the curve and invert
