Nick from Last August
Ok, I went to town on this one and I think it worked out. Lots of tweaking and playing on this one; eyes, face, sky, simplified the background (bye bye power lines, building and railing). I kind of owe it to Nick as he's waited very patiently since August to get these shots.
I really like how it turned out. My only slight beef is that in lightening the darker side of Nick's face I've actually made him look heavier than he does in the original shot.
Strange isn't it what light can do?
Haven't heard from Nick yet what he thinks. Hopefully he'll like it.
BTW this is not an HDR shot, this is a single shot tonemapped in the method I described in my previous post.
Should I have removed the concrete wall as well?
If you're interested in contacting Nick he can be found on Model Mayhem here
UPDATE: Nick likes it.
