    Re: Secret Agent Man

    Wtf? Ha ha.. just kidding Daq. This one has potential but is too undone as is. Your hand is fading right into the background there. Are you holding a 'weapon?' Can't even tell, but you may need to.

    One thing - the lighting is too hot on your head. I know you're going for that strobe w/ no umbrella flash approach, but do you have an example or two of someone who can get the right lighting with one consistently? My pt is that it may be hard, if not impossible, to do... umbrella lights are just so much smoother. Anyway,

    Re: Secret Agent Man

    A very interesting idea that I sort of like but......

    There is something in the background that is somewhat distracting.

    The left leg doesn't add much, it is not all there and the shoe is cut off.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Secret Agent Man

    Thanks for the input. I will cut the left leg off post haste.

    But yeah. The composition was somewhat compelled by the fact that even thin old guys look like fat f**ks when kneeling down. Should not have tried the shot in the first place. Definitely should not have posted it.

    Secret agent went through an alley and got outnumbered, surviving, but loosing his super duper uniform and just a wee scratch on his leg

    kidding aside,... hats off to your creativity

    the googles glass is dusty, perhaps after the fight

    I was perhaps expecting Patrick McGoohan? Otherwise, I think GB1 and MB1 captured my thoughts.
