I've had a go at Zeckson's Technique ( Different Retouching Techniques )
I know the Highlights are blown but the photo isn't important . Any comments ?
Anyone want to play with the original ? Bill

I like it, except for the blown highlights. Please post another one with the same PP.

I agree on the hilight...way too much... but honestly i like the rest.

It almost looks like a dirty Christian Shmidt for people. very interesting. Deffinetly worth a second try.

Good job,

My version,a bit darker

I think a darker background would greatly improve this image.. just my 2 cents

[Kayem]

In regards to the retouch itself I'd say you executed the technique quite well

I gave this one a try

Thanks for the response , this is my 2nd version . I decided to stick with a grey background , I think it suits the image better and I don't care too much for vignettes . Please comment ! There is a symbol ( circle with cross hairs ) on his left shoulder , I don't know where it's come from andf I can't get rid of it !

Just checked the upload and the symbol has gone !
