I shot an event honoring our veterans and there was a guy who goes around impersonating Winston Churchill. I like this shot because of the brick and the poster in the background.

Tell me what you think.
Thanks

I know who he is, probably the greatest man in english history but it has been awhile since I have seen a picture of him but just dont think it looks like him.

I'm a Churchill lover! But, the impersonation is terrible, not even close. But I like what you did with the photo. Sorry.

Well, he is not the best impersonator but I thought the capture was good. I was looking for CC more in the processioning area of the photo. Thanks for the response.

i like it a lot. I wish that it would go down farther to is waist maybe but other than that its very good. I think if it was actually Winston Churchill that would be a great picture of him :)


And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

I had to crop out the heads that were in the picture, thus what you see is the best there is.

i like the second version of the photo better, very cool look.
not to obsess on the subject, but i have to agree that this chap does not look too much like Winston Churchill... ironically almost more like a chubby Harry Truman... I think its those eye glasses...

The grain that you added is too even I guess the word is... its not broken up to made to look like random scratches. it looks like you took a paint brush and just took a even stroke down the picture.

I like the sepia in the second shot but prefer the straight brick work in the first, structurally.


HEY! HO!

Thanks.
I couldn't find a good scratch template that I like so I just went with this one.
The second one is part of an action that makes it look like a piece of film. I couldn't get the look I wanted so I took the color but left the bend.
