18th July 2015 - Original shot

This is the Morris man before i played in Picmonkey. Should I have left him alone?

Another filler - in my extras album

Its difficult Pam because he is a great character to shoot but I see what you mean about the bike. Have you ever tried putting a sky behind someone? I don't think its that easy and I see why you blurred the background.

Fab shot of an interesting man. B&w was a great choice.

[Simply Amanda]

I think a vignette would work well. Cool dude. Great shot and character.

Great capture - possibly you could lighten the bike in Lightroom with the selective brush to minimize it and keep the attention on the face.

Interesting photo. I like this un-blurred shot because it shows his costume better. He has quite a rugged but kindly face.

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful character, capture! (I like this one the best)

He looks like he could tell a good tale.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot.

[Taffy]

Definitely like what you've done with it. Little changes, but really makes a different.

[Jane Pittenger]

I wonder re lightening the motorcycle but not the background?

[Jane Pittenger]

Well worth the effort to get exctly what you want with this shot

I know you have already "done" this one to death, but (for me), I might have tried using the radial filter in Lightroom, around his face, to slightly darken and soften the background and keep the viewer's eye on his really expressive face. This is a super "street" shot, no matter how you process it. :)

I like your final edit. It brings more character to the face.
