Cowboy Tintype

Description

This is Trey Benton who won the 2014 George Paul Memorial Bull Riding. What was amazing he won the 2013 previously and was only the 3rd in the history of this famous bull riding to win back to back bull rides. This same year he barely missed winning the National Championship and came in second. Each year I do a photographic book of their performance. I am trying some effects other than the traditional color and this was my attempt at Cowboy tintype with grain, stray elements, some acid burn and tone seen in this antique type of photograph. I used Silver Efex Pro 2 and Perfect Photo Suite in the DD. Your critical comments are very welcome.
