I have been filming a video for a fitness club nearby....

This is Joel... at 19 years old he's looking great..

I like the top picture best.
I disagree with him looking great though. I think he's taken it too far and just looks like an odd body shape with unsightly veins sticking out.

Liking this a lot! Lovely processing and tells a good story I feel. Nicely done!

Yes

If it shows you saved a good image that is

Send it to Ken Rockwell as proof that people shoot brick walls.

Fix that very slight bit of tilting though or he'll get very upset with you

Heh well this is the original:

See how I got my finger lower left like a classic fool! I also accidentally shifted the aperture to 6.3 and didn't realise until after when I noticed the bokeh wasn't quite as soft.

This is the wider shot of the guy:

Hyburnate · 15 Dec 2013 at 13:53

That's a nice save. I prefer the close up makes it more intimate and personal which I think is needed

The image makes me feel Christmasy for some reason

mrk · 15 Dec 2013 at 13:55

Same with me, up close classic headshjots of people with interesting faces tend to be more striking

Hyburnate · 15 Dec 2013 at 14:01

Tells more of a story too, makes it look less posed. The wide angle makes me think he's just standing there for you to take a picture but the closer up one is more he's walking into town to do things, he looks more happy there's more emotion on the wide angle you can't see the emotion as much.

I think the F6.3 looks good, especially in the original as it shows a little context.

The black and white looks great though, and the lack of colour does away with the context but focuses attention on the subject. It could have been shot at F1.4 or something, but I like the DOF as there isn't anything to distract like you would get if it was a slightly wider shot.
