Hi folks...

Here I would like to share one of those "clothes" from a worrior that I taken last year while we were in England.

Our very first expirence with this kind of performance within a real castle!!! Something I will always remember. This is taken in Warwick Castle, a castle that is so huge.. well, that's the biggest one I seen so far... We spend a day walking around, going into the musuem, watching all kind of performance and we just love it. At the end we even bought one of the toy "bow and arrows" from the shop to bring back to New Zealand. (my son love it).

Here I have captured a worrior on the field, they are too many people, I can't really get too close up front, so this is as close as I can get with my zoom lens..:P I have combine 2 photos to get this end result. As the background weather is OE, so I took one of the castle itself with nice blue sky and one with the warrior to combine.

------------------------------------------
A) Background: (in PSP Pro X)
- Create one new layer with just the castle's photo
- Change it from "normal" to "Multiply" with 50%
- Apply "Guassian blur" 7%

B) Photo of the warrior
- Adjust brightness and contrast
- Increase saturation
- Apply USM

- Merge both layers, add border and resize for TL

Thank you all for viewing, all comments and feedback are welcome, wishing you a great day ahead. :D

p.s Thanks Rew for the correction, he is indeed a knight. :P

Hello, Sweety,
WOW!!!! Fabulous composition and DOF, the eye is drawn immediately to the "warrior's" face. Wonderful color, sharp, clear detail, and outstanding bokeh. It doesn't hurt that your subject is a pretty thing, either...LOL Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Sweety Hi:
A wonderful theme presentation with colors, clarity and very well composed. Congratulations.

TFS!

Good job on the combination of two photos here Sweety! Wow. :) I'm guessing that guy got his job on two basic criteria: a) good looking b) can ride a horse. Hehe ...

I love the light and the strong colours of your subject and background.

Isn't he a "knight"?

i like the soft BG here.

Now those are clothes. Great job on the combining of the two photos to create a winning image and "fix" the original background.
Good contribution to the theme as well.
The "zoom" seems to have done quite well. ;)
TFS,
Wilt

Hey Puffy
This is so refreshing.
Its brilliant as if just out of a hollywood movie.
No clues in the pic to remind us that it is a 21st century image. Such a convincing shot appears to be taken in the dark ages. Marvellous colours and even your subject is not directly looking in the cam adding a little more originality and character to your shot.
brilliant capture.
tfs

smiley soon

Hi Sweety,

Excellent idea for the theme, look like a picture from a fairy tales book! Very well composed photo and good PP work.
Best regards,
Sorina
