Description
Fading everything to black and blue
You look a lot like you
Shatter in the blink of an eye
You keep sailing right on through
-Counting Crows
-----------------------------------------------
Since the weather refuses to lighten up, I am forced to produce a sombre-toned photograph. I hate the winter, just look at that dark veil of cloud...
I know I recently did an umbrella piece, and I know umbrellas are ridiculously over-used in conceptual photography. There is a reason for that though; umbrellas are awesome. There should be a stamp in support of umbrellas... (someone make one!)
Anyway, this is my brother modeling for me once again, as I apparently have no friends.
Photoshop for levels, channel mixing, dodging/burning, noise reduction and cropping.

You could never steal my umbrella. I keep it under lock and key; guarded by Sweeney Todd and his razor of doom.

This is fantastic from start to finish. My one critique is the composition. I feel like there's too much negative space around him, like crop in on the top and bottom a little bit. I think that should tighten up the image.

I see your point. I just wanted to give a feeling of nothing but cloud around him. More like he really is falling.
Thanks for the critique!

Alright, so now that the database isn't down for work or whatnot... .
I think the somber tone works for it. It'd work bright and sunny, too, but somber works well .

Its like he's portraying "I'm falling, but that's cool with me." mood. You did the burning really well with photoshop. The background gives the feel that everything is dismal but there is light burning behind the misery.
Very nice hun.

pretty boring. I stayed at home. A party was canceled that I was going to. =[
We don't really celebrate new years too much in my family. I just don't find it a big deal, but it's a good excuse for a party.
