    lovely to see you put some work up Paul – seems like ages now :)
    Lovely image too – feels very tender and full of love and of course that beautiful golden tone that exudes your images – great textures too, gives it a timeless, classic feel.

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Thank you so much Deb.. yes I know, it does seem like ages since my last post.. I must pull my finger out and get on with some work!

    Very very nice work Paul. Great angle, use of selective focus and tone. Add to that one shapely young lady to model and you have the perfect piece. Great job

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Thanks for that Alan.. I have to agree with you, Claire certainly does knock the pants off the colloseum!

    Great image Paul the processing is really good it certainly has a timeless feel as Deborah said I think its the texture and tones that does that.

    haven’t you discovered dust and scratch removal in PS yet – let me know if you need assistance!!

    Claire is a very luck woman – this is divine

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Haha! Thanks Wellman.. I dont know where all these scratches and dust keeps coming from.. must have something to do with living in Saudi.. so if you are setting a PS masterclass then I would be more than interested!

    Throw on top of this two….......yes TWO valentines cards designed for me by Mr Tupman himself and a beautiful bouquet of roses, don’t i feel completely spoilt : )
    You are more than any girl could ever wish for Tuppers xxxxxxxx

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Aww, shucks, thanks Claire.. well, what more can I say than you more than deserve it! Well, perhaps I could say, before everyone else does, let’s go get a room! ;-)

    Such a beautiful thought and words behind such a beautiful shot.

    The trademark Tuppers touch of a brown glow are brought back in time with this scratched 60’s feel. I can hear the music playing in the background and your timing and attention to detail as ever has paid off Paul. Just look at the no distraction of passer bys or vehicles in the background. This truly is the perfect moment.

    The slightly tilted angle also works an absolute treat and this truly is a fine piece of work.

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Thanks Stuart for your comment, I really appreciate all that you said.. I can hear some of that 60s music playing in my head now too.. oh, dammit, that’ll be Hendrix on my iPod again!

    This is outstanding Paul – I love everything about this! From the antique rustic effect of the buildings and the scratchy sky, the beautiful cobbled pathway, the golden sepias and the stunning, beautifully luminated model. Overall, a masterpiece.

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Thank you so much Julie.. I’m really pleased that you like this so much.. it’s one of those pieces that I was extremely happy with myself!

  • Graham Dean

    Great artistic work Paul, the beauty in the foreground is even more complimented by the old world feel of her surroundings.

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Thank you Graham, and yes the surroundings do compliment Claire so well… lucky to have 2 such beauties in the same shot!

    if she had been looking at the camera, and if this photo had not undergone post-treatment, it may have been just another “tourist shot” as it were.

    but God, Paul, you’ve created something absolutely beautiful here! The sepia tones are so bold and strong… i LOVE the scratched textures… the DOF is perfect and your model is so wonderfully lit! true masterpiece!

  • Paul Tupman replied

    Thank you so much Daniel for your comment, I really appreciate that.. I definately hoped that this would become more than just another tourist shot when I took it!
