A SEPIA IMAGE

My first attempt at posting here. This image was taken with a 20D, EF 28-105 3.5-4.5 II USM, natural window light with a gold reflector (I think). It was shot in RAW, converted to sepia with the EOS DIGITAL Software that came with the camera, then "tweaked" a little more with PSE 3.0. Comments/criticism welcomed.

nice job. I like the way the subject and background lend themselves and respond to the sepia look.

Beautiful. I love that shot.

GREAT JOB.........sometimes I get worried when I see "sepia" pictures. I'm worried they will look like the sepia attempts I have made. I have a 10d, so all the work is in photoshop. I wonder if there is a standard way to convert to a sepia.....or B&W (without just removing the saturation)?

Nicely done. Don't think it would have worked in color. Good eye.

I'm not sure I've seen the "sepia" filter applied so that I like it, however the you level you used here really adds to the photo.

I really like this shot. It's a great one to convert to sepia - I think the only problem caused by the conversion is the chair disappearing into the wall.

Beautifull shot. I normally don't like sepia or B & W shots but this one is very nice. The mood captured is intimit.

Thank you for your comments.

Wonderful shot Wagonwheel.
I've never used the canon software, nor elements, but I'm wondering if elements has a 'diffuse glow' filter?
I use CS2 and I like the look with the glow, sorta gives it more of an 'old picture' feel. With your permission I'll post the glow version.

Mackb, this is how I convert to sepia in CS2
adjustments -desaturate
adjustments - color filter - sepia
adjustments - variations

Very, very nice. has the feel of the time period, and (as far as my newbie eyes can tell) flawless composition....
