Sussing out the Bad Guys

Since I bought this hat at a fancy dress shop, I doubt if it’s authentic of any one style. But its fun…

Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Converted to Grayscale
Duotoned using Pantone 105C

Last year I was photographing ‘Cattle’

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/3s f/4.0 at 17.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Oh my... the don't get any better than this. As if everything else about it isn't perfect enough, that perfectly focused eye with the great catchlight peering over the top of the glasses puts this over the top. Wonderful photo.

Ray, this is fabulous...creates an air of mystery as if you have your finger to your lips saying "shhhhh" Your expression fits the overall mood and of course the treatment gives it that added realism of the part you play here.

Excellent.

Looks part Aussie bush hat. No Croc Dundee down under it though. ;-))

Gail Davison 02-May-2005 16:17

Very cool shot, Ray. Love the shadows, the shades and the hat.

Jeanne Newman 30-Apr-2005 01:08
The sepia is great - the eye, the covered mouth, the hat -- all rather mysterious in a very whimsical way.

Chris Sofopoulos 28-Apr-2005 22:17
This is a really great SP Ray. It has perfect angle, contrast, light and the tones are INCREDIBLE.
Does Pantone helps you get these perfect tones?

René Gysi 28-Apr-2005 21:34
Beautiful sp with good lighting.

Cheryl Hawkins 28-Apr-2005 20:51
