About This retired Cornish tin miner had worked and lived all his life around the mines, the hardship showed in his face, I have given it a texture as he seemed to me to be a man of stone, very resolute, thanks for looking.

Very expressive, the hands as well as the face. The arch of the back emphasises effort. The stack in the background and dry stone wall make a perfect composition.

(I'm glad you've posted this, after reading some people's forum complaints I thought I was bad for posting a photo from 2001!)

Excellent character study Richard. You have succeeded in the effects you have used in Ps. I really think the texture adds to the image. Well done.

Richard, great job on the texturing. It certainly adds to who he is. I think mining is one of the most thankless jobs around!

excellent work


Craig Garland   {K:27077} 9/17/2003
This is very nice-- you can see the hard life this man has had in his face and his bearing. I think the toning and treatment you've used is excellent. Well done.

Your post production treatment on this really works. I grew up in a coal mining town in the Canadian Rockies and know how this kind of work can harden and age a man. "Hard times, hard times, come again no more..."

Great piece of work, Richard!
Thanks for your e-mail ~ I'll be getting back to you soon!
Kind regards, Chris.
