Drunk conductor passed out on the tracks

Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I had a go at using some selective desaturation and burning. It's not a real grunge, I think it is more a "semi-grunge"? Does the result work?

Oh, come on Bob, he's wearing his little conductor's outfit! :)

[Edit: Ah, I see what you mean. I changed the title completely. :)]

Nice one Doug - may I suggest cloning the eyes to white for that real passed out look :D

Ah.. I was wondering what to do about the eyes. I thought it was a shame when I was taking the photos that the eyes were so wide open.. Hmm I need to make them look sleepy/groggy. Thanks Chris. :)

I'm not sure if the white eyes are much better? I'm not an illustrator, I don't know how to do groggy eyes..? Shouldn't they be half closed? :)

I do wonder why you were out photographing with a toy lion and a bottle of Jim?

But then you are a Doug :D
Way to much photography gear is never enough!

Thanks Craig, this is a bit of railway line at balmoral that is a kind of outdoor museum of where the old tram line used to be. It is only a very short piece of track, but I kept it in mind for a spot to go for photography if I ever need a bit of railway line.

Unfortunately when I got there today, most of it had been grown over by grass and weeds. This was the only bit of the track with not much grass.

Dug, I took this crazy photo for a photo assignment. Otherwise ideas like this don't come into my head that often... honest! Hehe.

That explanation is for MattC too! :)
