I posted this on critique forum to get some feedback but really didn't get any for some reason. Maybe posting it on the weekend had something to do with it. So, I'm posting it here for critique and comments. Would appreciate any.
This is an Episcopalian priest that I know from the town next to us. He used to be a writer or something like that in Hollywood but gave it up for the cloth. Being a Baptist preacher myself, we wind up having some very interesting discussions!
I shot this last week at a mixer as he was leaving. Fooled around in PS (using mask and blur filter) to get the effect. Wanted to do something different with this portrait. Did I succeed? Love it, or hate it?
