I haven't posted a B&W image for long and toyed with the idea but finally settled for the colour version. But I am posting this conversion as a WS. Would be interesting to have your opinions on this.
A beautiful shot by sabyada as always...I felt there was a shrpness problem so am trying this..!!
1) sharpened
2) cropped the right side(made it into a square format)
3) i found that the outline of the by's head was attracting green so clone stamped it
4) decreased yellow thru selective colours
5) framed it again..
The harmony of colors and the way she keeps her foot inspired me for this WS.
It's just crop, frame and resized. I purposely did not remove the resulted noise, I think it also adds something to the mood.
I hope you will like it.
The rusty-red of the foreground has been made neutral by a little desaturation and a little cool filter. In my humble opinion, the colour looks even better with that hot, red neutralized.
As usaul an amazing shot from sabyada..only this I have tried here is to enhance the subjects with some sharpness and brightness..
*autolevels
*crop from the right side
*sharpened(double)
*clone stamped the rough edges
*colour balance(red reduced)primarily
*curves for brightness
*framed it
