Skinner

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted August 3, 201294 views4 comments

Taken at the Fall Festival at the local nature center. Skinners work with cow hides to demomstrate tanning. This image may look abit rough, somehow I deleted the original and this is from a scan of a print.

Canon Rebel
Tamron 18-200mm lens.

Still looks good from scan, too bad you lost the original. I can see it fine tuned.
The skinner's shadow makes it work very well, great interest John.
Well done & have a good weekend

A thought. What if you had shot from a lower angle, so you could not see the guy, only his shadow on the hide?

Very cool perspective. Love the shadow and the skinner barely visible behind. I think Kent's suggestion would also have worked, just a different take on the scene. Bummer about deleting the original.

the shadow on the skin makes this really interesting in combination with just the "essential" elements of the man: eye, chaps, hat. Wonderful!
