    There are a few particular things I really like about this -- the aging effects that make this look like a very old photo are just perfect. Also, the reflection in her glasses is a great detail. But mostly, I love the open car door in the background. It just adds a sense of impermanence to this like it's just a photo from a quick stop at the side of the road and then back into the car.

    Would be really interesting to know how you processed this one! Love the movie look...

    Nicky, glad you like it. I didn't do anything special here. I used a random texture image I found by browsing Google images, to give the picture an older look. I tweaked the colors using curves, selective color, color balance, etc. Finally, I did some manual dodge&burn. In the end, some sharpening. That's about it.

    The texture and the 'format' really merge well with the scenery. Morocco? Damn man. Looks like fun. Very moody portrait, bravo.

    If have a little curiosity: what car is that in the background. It looks a lot like a Dacia Logan :D

    MiChou, Barbara just told me that you're right, it was in fact a Dacia Logan. :)

    Awesome photo, colors and details.

    Well maybe not the Renault Logan in the background :)

    You really managed to get the road movie style here. Lovely processing and the reflections on the glasses are awesome!

    What an awesome shot!!

    I love the colours, your composition and of course that amazing reflection in her glasses. Her easy expression just adds to the feel, the open door of the car makes me think this is a scene from a movie.

    Bravo!

    An other nice portrait of your girlfriend. I like the added texture and the cross-process like tones. I watched some of your videos and they are superb too. I especially like the Morocco one with stills inserted into the video. Well done, Kris!

    Prachtige foto ! Mooi portret van Barbara, warme kleuren, de reflectie in haar zonnebril, de auto in de achtergrond, de "oude" foto... alles is super ! Je krijgt ook het gevoel dat er een verhaal achter de foto zit, het lijkt wel een fragment uit een film. Knap gedaan !

    I love the setup here, it has a slight beat generation feel about it, a sort of Kerouac feel. The tones and effects work really well.

    Besides the fantastic portrait and composition, the dust and scratches plus the colortone is spot on.
