I will be glad to tell you again, Luis.
Not only the captured RAW-format plays a role but all subsequent steps of work. Here, for example, I see small squares as "beard hairs" on his chin. It just looks like the typical compression/pixelation artefacts by downscaling and choosing some certain JPEG quality level. And it also looks like the typical effects of rasing contrasts.
Cheers!
Nick

Dear Nick... The face is pixelated...mmm...and other critic commnets...
They were captured in RAW format with 12 megapixeles...I canto believe...maybe the painter I'll see....
Well...you can read other comments
I told some friends at USF in the replies that the painting plug in is not the best in those images.-
I'll upload again the image without paint effect, and you tell me about..ok??? Hugs.- LUIS

The separation of the foreground from the background is very string here, Kuis, both by DoF as by perspective. The timing and the exposure balance are also good and string, and I am expecially glad to see such a contrast between the darker skin hues of the man in the foreground against the also dark background wall. (Dark against dark, that is.)
But the face in the foreground is pixelated in a too hard way... It doesn't convince as a portrait and it doesn't convince as a cartoon-like drawing too. It convinces perhaps as a raw collage of shapes that all together generate "a face", but all the latent "symbolism" fails under the hard pixelated view of the front face. A pity since the gradients are still there and do rpeserve the plasticity of the face expression.
How did that raw look came into the image?
Cheers!
Nick

Dear Andre my critic is always sincerly and hard, because the photo art for me is not a "hobby", is the expression of my fantasy and my vision of the world, you can see humans..persons...in a stage or in the street...even with some dreaming look...
I agree with you the photo is a fun experiment...
Arts are experimental always without hard rules
Look and see Andre, this painter plugin is a sample of the abuse of some digital resources...
And they are many of mine comments with criticizm in that way.- Sincerly auto- critic is essential and also sincerely and intelligent is a great moment for any author...Regards.- LUIS:):)

Hi Luis,
I have to say it is very refreshing to meet someone who can take a little bit of criticizm without getting all upset.
Of course it is always fun and interesting to experiment with things like this. We shouldn't take ourselves so serious that we never stray from the "straight, normal image".

Me preguntaba lo mismo que Tony. Por qué usar el efecto pintura, si la foto es una maravilla??
Bueno, he leído la respuesta... La toma es deliciosa, el color también. Y el efecto pictórico lo tiene en sí mismo.
un abrazo, Luis,

Tony I AGREE the painterly filter is a baroque adding to a wonder scene, yes my friend, is a good critic and I give a great value to this sincerely and technical comment BRAVO BY THE COMMENT !!!
Sometimes we (some photographers) in the digital edition way, thought that with some plugin(like dry brush...) the image would impact more...and more.-
But the effect is in the contrary.-
Yes dear Tony...we learn, and learn .-
The problem is that we know before !!!! those concepts...yes.- Double wrong!!!
I must apologize with myself...jejejejejeje.- WISHES.- LUIS

Excellent photo 77777 but spoilt by the unnecessary painterly filter- it adds nothing to a perfectly wonderful scene.
Best Wishes, Tony

Dear Andre...I agree with you..always I'm a critic of the abuse of plugins art effect in the photos.- For me the photo when is good and told a story is enough, but sometimes we are confuse.- Yes...Andre !!! is a good critic with my own stamp, THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Luis,
I like the rich colour and composition of this one. I'm thinking the painterly effects are maybe a bit too strong and not needed. Like some paintings, it looks great from a distance, but up close, I'm not so sure.
Yet, the longer I look at it, the more I like it. :)
