An old shopkeepr

June 29, 2010 @ 2:41am

He is a typical old face of Hong Kong fishermen family. This old man lives in Lei Yu Mun (a fishing village in Hong Kong) and runs a small food and sweets shop. Most of available stuff on his shop is made of fish or other sea food.

Viewer's C&C are welcome

A lovely environmental portrait. I like where you placed him in the image. He's looking away from the camera. His hands are clasped behind his back and his head is slightly lowered. A humble attitude indeed, as he awaits customers.

Impressive capture and post-processing. The image is a little too small to be sure but it looks like you may have substantially increased local contrast on the person as well as adding grain. Always appreciate the choice of emphasizing the character inherent in real features. Paul

Thanks Flo and Paul.
@Paul: Yes I did highlighted details of the old man body by sharpening it, but did not added the grains. Whatever was on oldman's body was popped out.
