Description

These two lads were up to all sorts of antics and enjoying themselves enormously here at the seaside. They had climbed up about 20 feet onto 'Elephant Rock', a feat that I wasn't going to attempt. They were good humored, not minding their photo being taken.

I used the shot as an exercise in adding textures. The logo on the sweatshirt I must admit is somewhat of an anachronism given its contemporary design being at odds with the 'aged' effect the texture layer was supposed to provide. Nevertheless, I liked the capture.

The unique problem with this picture is the modern clothing, hard to escape. I want to reproduce with my children’s an old photo of me and my brothers, as it is difficult to find 1970s shorts. Nice picture and like the title.

I think, taht the textures did a great job here - of course it's difficult to choose a good balance of modern times and the old style made with textures. But it still works i think. Fine! Have a nice weekend ... .
