Another from my recent photoshoot day. This time a couple of WW1 guys, one ours and one yours! Both on the same side fortunately. We did have some of the opposition there too but I can’t process them at present (grumble, grumble). Some of the scratching is my freehand and some is an overlay. Your critique is welcomed.

Great processing. Looks era correct for my memory. Scratches are a proper and creative addition.

Wonderfully done. I like the details like the rifle and the hob-nailed Boots. He is holding the pipe at the perfect British angle.

Yes, they are quite fussy about getting things right Jim. Thanks for your comments, they’re appreciated.

Those hobnails are what I wanted to feature in this shot - and the pipe is certainly a nice touch. Having smoked one from the age of 18 until I was around 60, I appreciate the niceties of a properly balanced pipe.
Many thanks for your comments Curmudgeon.

I really like this... looks authentic and original. Good work!
One question though, is the gentleman seated with the pipe checking his email on his phone? LOL! I can see he is not, but...

It could be concealed in that baccy pouch!

I am awed by your skill in creating a content-focused piece with such attention to significant detail and with seamless lighting and scale. A real joy to look at. All the technique helps make it very moving emotionally.

Not a lot of work from me in this one Bob, the two guys rocked-up at the right spot and adopted the right pose. Even the rifle is down to the soldier fella. All I had to do was get on the floor (easier than getting up again, I must admit), and then pp the poster and scratches. The pipe smoker had several outfits and proved very easy with the cameras. Thanks for your generous comments.
