Grandad meets Dragan

[johnboy125]

Dragan Effect from issue 111. I did everything from the tutorial plus added a remove noise filter on the background. Then Because adding alot of fill light in ACR made loads of dust stand out on the collar i loaded in a 2nd version with no fill light and lots of black and blended in the collar.

I didn`t crop out the background because i wanted to add a sense of atmosphere.

Nice, well done - I'd say a little less black on the collar to reveal some texture would be nice.. but that would be being pickey , the highlight halo's in the background a re a bit distracting and could be cloned out.

Does your family like it?
