"Almost art"? Looks like the real thing to me! Wonderful tones, action, composition.

Andy -

Superb for moment, composition, slo-mo kinetic energy, contrast, detail, tonal range and processing.

Andy, I join Amado in exhorting you to continue in this new stream of development. A most intriguing image with a major hook. I would be interested to learn more about whether this is a scanned neg or print and how you shaped this image. Very well done as the responses detail & very well received.

Ben hi,
appreciate your feedback as always..I will try to continue with developing a certain style...thanks for the encouragement.

The image is scanned from the Neg and imported into LR.
I "softened" it using Minus value on the Clarity slider, ....then added some vignetting to increase the "tunnel" view.Tehn adjusted contrast as usual using the standard LR tools.
I as always scan as JPEG as color negative.It gives me smoother images.
Hope this helps

regards
Andy
