Love love love this photo and the post processing is the icing on the cake! I am trying to achieve this effect on my holiday card - does it have a name or is it your own creative process - it rocks.

Thanks diane

Thank you, Diane for the kind words. This was my own process. Each photo tends to be a bit different so preset actions don't always turn out how I like. It just has to feel right. This was a long process, which among other things included, warming the color temp a bit, desaturating a bit, a little frequency separation technique and a few more tweaks. I had a speedlight camera left, and another closer camera right. The 3rd and 4th were both behind to the right and farther left.

163mm, f7, 1/200th, iso1600

Here's a b/w

Yeah, Me too. Great image.

I can tell that you know what you are doing - Compelling image - I hope you gave the person a copy! That would be on my wall asap! BIG!

Diane

Nice captures. I wondered how the first image would look in B&W. The second has the stronger visual appeal to me.

Very nice B&W pics.
