Finally had a chance to work on a photo that I took last week. :whew I went to a French & Indian War era re-enactment at Fort Frederick, MD. Weather was magnificent, BTW. This was the only shot I took that was worth keeping.

C&C much appreciated! I am trying to emulate a very nice photographer by the name of Mike Ticcino who I met while volunteering at Valley Forge as a historic interpreter.

    I think it looks great and is a emulates very well. Thatis a really interesting look, I love it.
    I thought of you last week when I missed getting uptown to a civil war re-enactment by maybe an hour. Busy weekend and I flat forgot until it was too late. Darn shame, I had thought "good, I could emulate Linda!" so much for that... :D

    I agree; Nice Work
    :ivarI agree.. The expression on his face is unique.. This is a really good shot and I love what you did with the texture and effects. The colors really carry the mood of the whole shot. The white mark above his left shoulder is a little distracting, but other than that I think it is excellent; and a definite contender..

    Nice work and emulation..thumb.gif

    Wow... Linda, this is such a beautiful photo/portrait of the epoch...

    Somehow on my screen the photos of the emulated artist appear to have a warmer light...headscratch.gif

    Thank you all so much for looking and for commenting! iloveyou.gif

    Tatiana you're right about the photo perhaps needing some warmth. thumb.gif

    Hey dnie -- one of these days I'm going to get to one of your Texas re-enactments! I've done a lot of research on Hood's Texas Brigade in the Civil War and have earned a lot of respect for those troops.

    Very nice emulation. The only thing I'd change is to tone down the white on the collar a bit.

    +1! Very nice work.

    Thanks for giving me the chance to look at Mike Toccino's work. It is lovely. You picked a good photographer to emulate.
