CHALK AND CHEESE

Hawkins, TX

Caught this older gentleman who was quite conservative trying to talk with the Hawkins' Hippies....different as chalk and cheese or night 'n' day.

And you made the difference even bigger with the treatment. What a great job!

Excellent for chalk and cheese. The selective coloring was a great idea.

Probably don't even speak the same language! Love the hat!
Sheila15-Oct-2009 07:46

Terrific treatment Cindi, very effective!

H'oh boy, you were clever with this one too! Really like that moment, especially the elder gentleman wanting to talk. :o)
Frank Wilson15-Oct-2009 02:18
Nice catch of the contrasts!

Very well seen! But what's with the "stuck in the 80's" hair? ;-)
Laryl15-Oct-2009 01:14
a very fun result!
Guest 15-Oct-2009 01:03
When I was you're age....LOL looks like he's about to tell them what's on his mind!

Hey Cindi,
This is a wonderful scene! An excellent capture. \/
Dennis Warren14-Oct-2009 23:52
Nice touch...I've been laboring over what to do with this theme!
J. Scott Coile14-Oct-2009 23:19
He might need a lil' medical attention. His color doesn't look too good ;-)

Barbara Heide14-Oct-2009 21:50

Doug Cruden14-Oct-2009 21:01
Super candid...certainly chalk and cheese here!
laine14-Oct-2009 21:01
Hmmm, talking with their backs to him, how rude...bet he was raised with better manners AND more interesting too...!!!
Guest 14-Oct-2009 20:54
Wow! the generation gap is deep and wide here. Well seen and treated, Cindi!
Stephanie14-Oct-2009 20:21
And one of these days these hippies will be lucky to sit where this elderly gentleman sits now. Nicely done Cindi!
Linda Willets14-Oct-2009 20:07
Great selective coloring, Cindi !

So that's where all the hippies went after 1975! Very nice work, good one for color selection and most certainly Chalk and Cheese!
