My mate Clarky is a bushie who lives on the banks of the Richmond River just outside Kyogle. I took this not long after I bought my original D70 and just stumbled across it again. I would like to know what people think of it.

John this is a gorgeous earthy portrait that has been beautifully exposed. Perhaps having played a little more with DOF may have added a little more sharpness to the eye on viewers left.

John

I really like it.

Well composed and the background provides a great contrast so the eye focuses naturally on the face

And that hat is priceless.

I'm sorry to say I am not a fan of this Dragan effect, I much prefer the original image, which by the way Oneputt is an excellent portait

Cheers Rod
