An Elvis impersonator came to town a while back. He did a decent job. This is my contest entry.

Nice work, Jimbob! That guy has to be pretty old. His face is so jowly. This sure is going to be a very difficult contest to decide. Got my eyes on what I think will be the winners and then something new comes along like this image of the King.

When I read the title, I thought it was a lion. LOL But this is very impressive. Good luck, Jim.

If he can impersonate as good as you photography, he does really good JimboB. Excellent treatment. It looks like he sings with feeling, drama and rhythm (FDR).
An excellent entry and good luck.

I love his outfit - definitely 70s Elvis. You captured him well, especially the colors.

You're joking, right? Come on, Jimbob. This guy makes money by impersonating Elvis? I like Vanda's comment above. This guy doesn't even look like a primate. Maybe he's impersonating the Elvis from the 90's if you get my drift. I like Milka's comment as well. Nope....this isn't a lion. It's not even a mammal.

I think you did a great job on the post photo work. It was the work of a master craftsman to come up with the idea to make his sunglasses, face and scarf all just about the same color. Thank you. Thank you.

Roger

P.S. Good luck in the contest. I thought the contest was "People". If this guy was human at some point in his life, you have a good chance.

Can't say by only an image whether he's a good impersonator of the late King or not. Can only say that you've captured him very well.

Whether this guy is human or not (ref: comment of Roger), to me it's a very good entry for the 'People' contest.

Good Luck, mate.

Regards, Cornelius.
