Congratulations on getting this accepted by Corbis, Margie! I noticed this one awhile back and it definitely is a winner. What a great face he has--I bet he loves this portrait! Beautifully done! #4182641

Margie Hurwich April 18, 2007

LOL, Colleen...as a matter of fact...my dad doesn't like this shot at all! Simply because he said he looks old!

Thanks so much! #4182655

I love this look. I see by your comments that you mentioned that you reworked it. I'd love to know the process you used. I went to your gallery and you do beautiful work but I see it's mostly color - but you really nailed it on this B&W and you gave it so much character. Let me know what you did. Thanks. #5011229

Margie Hurwich October 31, 2007

Thanks so much, Ann. The major work done on this shot was cloning. My father suffers from psoriasis, so he had many little flakes in his eyebrows, on his shirt, etc. Additionally, my father suffers from red eyes all the time. After I converted the shot to B/W, using Virtual Photographer, I had to select his eyes and desaturate them. I love this shot of my dad...although he doesn't like it as it shows so many wrinkles. And thank you for the comments on my gallery. Yes, I do love color! #5012302
