Photoshop Creative

I was down at the lakefront a few days ago; found a scavenger with a metal detector.
This was what I started with...



This is what I did with it...



I used USM with a setting of 500, 0.3, 0 to gave an illusion of film grain with the added benefit of picking up some detail in the breaking waves.

He looks sooooooooo cold.

Now that is my kind of shot. Good one, Rusty

Thank you, Suzi

Yeah, Sunny, it was a little brisk out

Rusty

I like what you did with this pix. Great composition and treatment.

Great job, i would like to be on that beach with a detector also.

He actually found something while I was there; maybe as much as a quarter

If you look closely, you'll see he's "ready". That's a stick in his back pocket - for digging in the sand. He has knee pads as well.

If you are going to do it, gotta do it right.

Rusty

aww shucks a quarter.... maybe its a reeal old one. I do enjoy metal detecting i dont get to do it often but it is fun. I get excercise and sun 2 things i get little of.

Nice shots and transformation Rusty. I think changing to b&w makes him look even colder.

Rusty,
The b&w cropped photo is very effective indeed.
