i alone by graemestevens

i alone

I had grand designs for this shot, designs that included at least years worth of editing, but when I had completed the "basis" of the processing I liked it just as it was. I guess sometimes simplicity is the key...worth a look on black if you have the time.
Me myself and I
Great portrait!

They say around here, maybe they say it elsewhere, "When you're good your good" so if this is good and it is, you're good so that means, eh eh have a fav and I'll have a drink OK, yah good cheers

Nice - you should do a Neil young impression :)

@jack4john Help yourself my good man, help yourself.
@pdulis The only drawback there is that I'm tone deaf and can't play any instruments.
September 25th, 2016  
@graemestevens you SO have been born in the wrong era!
September 25th, 2016  
@graemestevens just embrace it!!!

September 25th, 2016  
Fabulous on black mr stylish
September 25th, 2016  
@pdulis Only if he can't play more than 3 chords! :-)
September 25th, 2016  
HA!.. I am not fooled by your Mr Cool appearance! But I like the light spilling on to the coat! Nice coat, in fact!
September 25th, 2016  
@yrhenwr Believe it or not, it's only my old "dog walking" coat so nothing special...
@newbank Thank you very much nice lady :)
@jocasta And open a stalking business?
@hermann I wish I did have a cloak...
@nickspicsnz Thanks very much :)
September 25th, 2016  
Looks superb on black background. Another cool shot Graeme.
September 25th, 2016  
Truly excellent!
September 25th, 2016  
Agreed, sometimes simple is as good as or even better than complicate... This is an excellent shot, no less than your complex composites!
September 25th, 2016  
@domenicododaro Thank you very much :)
@tracys Thank you very much, appreciated
@pools82 Thank you very much :)
September 25th, 2016  
Excellent on black. It is a beautiful portrait. Hope that doesn't offend you. :-)
September 25th, 2016  
@lynbonn Thank you very much - and of all the things that have offended me lately this is by far the easiest to deal with
September 25th, 2016  
Really wonderful work with light and shadow. I think you were right to stop as is.
September 26th, 2016  
@taffy Thanks very much - my fingers are still itching from stopping so I might revisit it at some point
September 26th, 2016  
Super cool portrait...I've been enjoying trying to drop out the background by shooting in lower light. Your effect here is perfect.
September 26th, 2016  
Aaah I'm going backwards see... so the next day's post was the years worth of processing? Well regardless this is beautifully (albeit lightly) processed, very cool with all the negative space... but I still like the turmoil one best :)
September 26th, 2016  
Amazing
September 26th, 2016  
@shylaine3304 Thank you very much :)
@kerosene Not at all - the next days post was a nice fresh shot...I may revisit this one as son point though
@cjoye Thank you very much - I use a jet black back drop for these which means that the work in lightroom is nowhere near as intense.
September 26th, 2016  
I forgot to fav this, for heaven's sake.
September 26th, 2016  
Brilliant...
September 26th, 2016  
Wonderful black on black shot xx
