Knights Fighting

This picture was taken at The Abbey Tournament and later cropped and post processed to it's current, more dramatic form.

The original photo was taken with a much wider angle and contained a lot more clutter.

Concept borrowed from this picture.

    Thanks Suzzie :)

    The whole thing only took about 2.5 hours too, most of which was pesky tracing around people.

    You have produced something very special here. It's a wonderful shot to start with - but made more impressive by the soft focus background and the judicious use of colour.

    Thanks :)

    It took a fair bit of fiddling about but I'm fairly pleased with the result.

    Nice job cropping out the clutter. I like the selective colourisation too. Well done.

    Thanks :) Sorry for the late reply.

    Thanks Steve. 'twas an interesting exercise.
    I went along to this year's Abbey Tournament today, but will have to wait for the film to be developed before I'll know how all the shots came out. The digital ones that I thought were ok (no stunner's today) are up already.
