[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is a photo of an old communist Kazakh Mongolian that lives in Tavanbogd National Park, Mongolia.

I guess this is a fusion photo of old and new. I wanted it to have the really old fashioned kind of look, but I used the relatively new technique of zoom blur (reproduced in photoshop).

The original photo was in colour and all in focus. I used photoshop to add the radial zoom blur to the background, then made it sepia. Finally, I used the "Diffuse Glow" filter to give that slightly overexposed, grainy old fashioned look.

Excellent! I was looking for the new... and look details... What does he mean... Try to find modern technologie. Good work! The blur & sepia is a very good completion!

Excellent compo & well executed PP...
It helps to bring the eyes to the subject & gives a dynamic feeling!...
Good Job Mike...
Cheers,
Prem

Hi mike,
I think you don’t need any help to improve your photos.
You have the sensibility to pick out the theme and modify the reality into poetry (artistic witchcraft?)
