very nice work.. your source pic is lacking in resolution but good capture.. you may want to clean up the work around the younger man's head (the back drum should match the blur of the other drums in order to complete the perspective).. but it's a very good concept.. good luck(the shekere thingies are really cool, never saw those before.. LOVE THEM)

I know your source pic was grainy to begin with...if you had added some film grain to the other pics and blurred the fire a bit, you could have unified the look.

neat

good idea. In the high res view some cutout issues are there(head area), and in picture clarity difference is there(background is clean and people picture full noise) correct it.

Why didn't I listen to myself. I knew the picture of the drummers was not clear enough. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what I can do...

I made some changes. I hope this looks better... thanks again for your help... I learned another trick...

nice idea. nice mood i think you put maybe a bit too much grain on the two guys. and those shekeres (? ) are too sharp i think.

The men had a lot of grain from the get go. I tried to sharpen them and add some grain to the rest of the image. The shekeres were very nice and clear originally. I added grain, but I guess they still look clear... thanks for commenting elficho

very nice

nice idea, good job

I think the guy on left is ready to start on fire...

too hard rhythm picture is fuzzy!
