What a character - and you have captured the eccentricity well. The choice of processing is very clever, with the would-be mayor as one with the statues, or perhaps like an animation character, not quite real! |

Really like the style you gave this. The processing really makes the man seem like part of the statuary. I like your story too. |

Terry, this is awesome! The processing is perfect - it beautifully captures his "character". So did he win the election? hehe. |

Very clever processing - don't listen to anyone who says it's overdone because it's perfect to show the "real" similarity to the statues. |

This is where extreme editing can work. Nice capture and editing. Your subject looks remarkably like the statues he is posed beside. Bump in score. |

Excellent idea and composition. HDR treatment works fantastic here (I assume it's HDR. If not - all the better). |

Monochrome might have added to the illusion. A little too much high pass or topaz adjust. Great idea though, quirky and fun... |

I personally don't usually go for this kind of processing but it does help the man look more like the two statues he is posing with. |

the bag and gloves are a bit distracting , a closer crop may actually help, bringing more of the hdr detail into view. |

I wonder how this would have looked if the statues had a little less of the post processing. To make the figure look even more like them? |
|
Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
03/13/2009 10:53:04 AM |
not usually fan of this editing style but I think, in this case, it works well. It makes the human look more like the statues and I had to look twice to verify which were real and which were not, which intrigued me. And his bag and coat echo the statues; even his blue suit mirrors their verdigris somewhat. Very well thought out, or a lucky take. at any rate, I like what was put into this, thought wise, to make it work so well. 8 been through all the others, bump to 9 because I enjoy looking. |

I have to admit that the "Dave Hill" look is usually a bit annoying to me, but it really works here. I love how the processing really duplicates the appearance of the statues. |
