Elvis Lives

My daughter and I scored free tickets to St. Louis Blues ice hockey tonight... Elvis sang the national anthem. I just loved the idea of an Elvis impersonator singing the national anthem at a sporting event. Here is Elvis, in all his sequined, middle aged, paunchy glory. Hey... who am I to judge a paunch?? ;) It was my daughter's idea to put him in color, to differentiate him from the grayness of the crowd around him.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. Always, much appreciated.

I like your daughter's selective color idea! Great shot.

Terrific use of the sc and great portrait

Wow! Glad you captured his photo before he left the building!

That is such a fabulous photo (as in a well-captured moment!) and a delightful surprise to cap off a super great evening out with your daughter!

[Graham Thresher]

Great capture.

[Sheralee S]

Facial features have changed a little but great shot of him. I like the SC.

[Ukandie!]

Nice use of SC, but I am enjoying the look on the woman's face beside him too!

[Rosie Kerr]

@ukandie1 I did this as a black and white, at first, because of the street shot theme, because I enjoyed the crowd's reaction to the King, too!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

But did he leave the building afterwards? Fun!

[Kim Harper]

Elvis definitely deserves the spotlight - great idea to put him in color against the b/w crowd. I like his expression - "hey, this is just what I do." Hope it was a good game - and great score on the free tickets.

for all we know it could be him, although he looks much too young to be the real one, unless of course he's got a job done like his ex-wife. in any case, nice capture, rosie. aces!

Excellent. So glad to know he lives! You have done an amazing job with this. Love it! Perfect!!

[Corinne]

so what we have been told was true : he's alive!

[Disha Parekh]

Love the selective colour although usually I really don't like it. Works really well here :)

[Junko Y]

Great idea to show Elvis in color against the black and white!

[Margaret Brown]

Brilliant, great fun, I do like your selective colour.

[Lee]

I see he now has a blue jacket as well, doesn't much look like suede.

Great choice of SC! Makes you wonder what Elvis would look like if he were still alive today? He would have turned 81 on January 8th.
