Here's an early study with Charlie and boots against a plain background, the way I like to place subjects. Even with more shading, I couldn't see the subject working well. I tried studies with the shirt darker, a simple dark shaded background (though not so simple, with graphite), and with the tree and part of the house but leaving the driveway white so the boots will get great contrast. I ended up using the last option and am pleased with how it is working.
Getting close!
Looking good! How creative my son is!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved that picture of Charlie! What a great idea from Sherry & Bruce to do that one! Good job (as always!) Patty
ReplyDeletep.s.--we're probably going to present S.K. this weekend to Mom--will try to take pictures of the presentation to send to you!
