Help re: what to include in painting

[Allan Rahbek]

Hi Tessa, nice motife, it looks very Danish I think. Is it?

Hi Allen,
Yes, we had a great trip to Denmark this summer and this was taken at an historical village - everyone in costume, living the authentic old Danish lifestyle. This gentleman suited the costume, kind of gruff and weather beaten. Any suggestions re: how you might crop and would you just do the head shot with a plain, greyish background or would you attempt some water?

The name escaped me without looking at my journal, but thanks it was in Arhus. Thanks for the input, will post my attempt in a few weeks.

Tessa,

If you will send me your highest res. image I will make the crop for you. Or, I'm sure Allan would do the same.

Allan is a portrait high priest from the European continent. You could do a lot worse than to have him mentor this project in the work in progress section.
