Boy

This is just another idea that was in my head. Deliberately processed to look cold. Boy was a great sport (he was really happy and not at all upset like this picture)

Interesting creative idea. This may be just me but I kind of would like to see this unfocused in all the parts.

[still crappy sailor]

a great idea, and well executed. I think the cold looks adds to it.

@susale I will give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

@stillcrappysailor I think the colour looks kind of medical/hospital like. It has a different less sinister feel in b/w and normal colour. Thank you for all of your recent observations. I really appreciate it.

I really like this & love that the middle is in focus, it makes the picture more interesting & different from the norm.

@semjaja thanks Sem. I am quite pleased with it. It has not had many views which is a tad disappointing. Oh well.

[Spanner]

@allisonraposa thanks Allison. I am delighted you like it so much.

[Rachel Withey]

Fav. Love this fantastic shot.

He looks very sad, and the overall result is a little bit disturbing - even more with the blue tint (which I agree looks very medical/hospital). Good idea and greatly executed.

[Spanner]

@rachelwithey anks Rachel. I am delighted you like it.

[Spanner]

@channelf thank you for your kind comments.

[Lisa Stein]

He does look sad. His face seems to convey a lot of emotion. Very well executed shot - successfully disturbing!

[Spanner]

@pflaume Excellent - I am really pleased with this shot (it is exactly how I planned - an unusual experience for me). Thanks for your comment.

[Hope D Jennings]

[Spanner]

@mzzhope Thanks Hope. I really appreciate your feedback.

[Angela Tavan]

this is just wonderful! FAV! You have such creative ideas! I love that the face-on is clear and that it fades away to the sides - gives it a great rounded feeling! Love it!

[Lisa Pouncy]

This has worked really well xx

[Spanner]

@angelat Thanks for your feedback Angela. You are alwys so positive and complimentary.

[Spanner]

@psychographer Thank you Lisa.

@spanner - I have found in life that there is a lot of truth in the saying: criticism cripples.
