Dennis Gay |
G'day Rolan, Arrrrr there me hearty!!!!! A great subject who seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself in his role, wearing great props and in a classic pirate pose with a twinkle in his eye. Your original exposure had to be very good for you to use as a foundation for the wonderful "old masters" treatment you have given this. You aperture, focal distance and sharp focus have ensured lovely detail and the colours are wonderfully rich to match the theme. Truly great work that man! GB

What a treat this photo is, Rolan. The lighting is just perfect for the subject and this has the look of something we would see in a museum of Dutch paintings. And you obviously had a good rapport with your subject because he looks so natural - as if you weren't even there.
