Old Man

What a superb, timeless portrait, Nezih.
I'm not 100% sure about the blurred effect but I do really like the tones and framing.

x2. A good "old style portrait".

I like this very much.

I'm getting to know the 'signatures of people who post on this Gallery and I knew this was yours as soon as I saw the thumbnail.

However, I must admit that I find the blurred effect a bit too much and it makes me 'dizzy' looking at it !

Can you try re-posting with less heavy blurring ?

Otherwise, as said above, great capture and well worth recording

Best regards
Peter

Hi,
shared the opinion of its predecessor!
"Probably" is a snapshot? 1/10sec.i EXIF other parameters, it was not possible for more than supplied!
In such case to reduce the size of the grain (noise), increased the contrast and sharpness!

I agree with above Nezih. I would like to see a this without the effects too.

Thank you, guys! It's not easy to find the original shot now, but I have two more worked versions which look similar. The fact is that, originally it was not a good shot. We was sitting at a crowded café a little far from me and moving his head sideways all the time, I did not want to attract the attention of other customers nor I wanted to disturb him, so the best shot I took was not sharp, and that was the main reason I had to use effects to make it look better. That's the story about the blur. I am sorry also because he was maybe the oldest man around and was a perfect subject for portrait work.

I like this very much, I understand the other comments, but I think the blur adds to the photo, just my opinion though. Best wishes to you Patricia

This image needs NO apologies (in my opinion)

What a great character. Nice capture, effective treatment. I too like the Silver Efex Pro, it's one of my favourite tools.
