And so is your image, Dale. (Doesn't look at all like Gettysburg, though) #1398112

Great meeting you at this event Dale, and outstanding comp. The background fits in perfectly with the title you have chosen. #9579049

Dale Hardin August 03, 2011

Thank you Michelle. You're right. Maybe should have used an open field instead. Had to do something because the background was very cluttered when I shot this.

Thanks Robert. #9579292

Excellent portrait and effects, Dale!! I know what you mean about the b/g there...almost forgot to clone out the 605 Freeway from one of my shots... #9580522

Dale Hardin August 03, 2011

Thank you Robert. Here is another version of this shot. For some reason I felt at the time of posting that it should be more subdued but I like this version also.

By the way, the background is the road to Bodie. #9580550

Awesome shot Dale :-) I also really like the colour version.....have you done this in sepia as well?
