A quantum of solace

Photo opportunities have been few today. I spotted this chap having a quiet moment. Again tried some other editing effects. Tried to make this appear vintage. I find that once I start to tweak images it is hard to know when to stop.

Pretty cool, I like this!

[Marelize Dry]

Very nice

@kporte @ounooi Thank you both for taking the time to look and comment.

[kali]

you've got the etsooi bug!

[Spanner]

@kali66 I know, it is quite alarming. Thankfully I have not taken a decent (planned) photo recently so am not too precious about mucking about with the editing.

[Claire]

Love this and a fav! Great composition and looks awesome in b&w and I love the processing and I have the same problem as you too with knowing when to stop processing lol...

[trishaclancy]

Love your b&ws!

@clarita_71 Thank you Claire. I just down loaded Aperture and am having a go with the Nik software. Getting rather geeky at the moment.

[Spanner]

@trishaclancy Thank you Trisha.

[Claire]

@spanner I have Nik software and it's awesome, you'll love it.

[Angela Tavan]

a great image and it does look a bit vintage!

[Channelf]

Cool capture and I think you're still ok on the post-processing ! Does feel vintage !

[Otter Lyons]

Cool shot! What is he sitting on? Almost looks like water.

[Rik]

The LB gives a lovely effect to the water

[Sem]

i love this shot, it looks like he's radiating some kind of energy the way the water looks, love the processing. fav

[Hope D Jennings]

Love the effect!

[Spanner]

@angelat thank you Angela.

[Spanner]

@channelf thank you.

[Spanner]

@otter he is on steps right at the waters edge. I was above him so the perspective made it look like he was almost on the water. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

[Spanner]

@rikshore thanks Rik. I love the lensbaby.

[Spanner]

@semjaja thanks Sem. Very flattered with the fav.

[Spanner]

@mzzhope thank you Hope.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great back :o) I like the blurred framing xx

[Spanner]

@psychographer thank you Lisa.

[Suse♡]

You are really getting to know your lensbaby better, cool effect!

[JP]

lovely shot! I so totally agree with you as it is my weakness...once you start tweaking and playing around with a shot...it's hard to know when to stop...and most of the time I end up going to what I started with! :)

[Ingrid Budge]

It works though, keep up the editing. the focus is just spot on too

[Rachel Withey]

Great focus. I like the processing too. Your processing technique sounds very like mine.

[Krisztina Lacz]

Great!
