Can we see the color version? "I'm not immature, my default age limit is set to low."- someone in my head told me to write that.

I love the colours in the image, the problem, however is that, with the colour version, the hand in the background seems to distract my attention a lot... The B&W version lets me focus on the subject and everything about him. The overall depth of the scene that I tried to capture. Is it just me, or does anyone agree with this? Thanks again for viewing.

hurley1718 Senior Member 288 posts Joined Feb 2008 Location: Olympia WA More info | Oct 30, 2008 18:49 | #9 Your right about the hand. I really didn't notice it in the B&W conversion but it does stand out in the color one. Bummer. The colors are very nice. I was looking to see if you could clone out the hand a bit but it makes the background a bit strange. If you are able to shoot this type of photo again I'd say go for it and hopefully the background will be free of obstructions.

To me, the B &W version becomes an icon or abstraction, whereas with the color version he is actually breathing. Bob

Nov 01, 2008 02:05 | #11 GinoE wrote in post #6589969 Great portrait! I definitely prefer the B/W version, and for the exact reasons you mentioned. It does make the subject stand out much more, making it the clear center of attention. Maybe you could try darkening the hand in the background a bit more, and lightening the skin of the subject through tweaking the channels in the B/W conversion? Thanks a lot Broncobear wrote in post #6591715 I like them both with maybe the B&W leading more becuase of personal preference. nice job Thanks a lot! hurley1718 wrote in post #6594138 Your right about the hand.

I was looking to see if you could clone out the hand a bit but it makes the background a bit strange. If you are able to shoot this type of photo again I'd say go for it and hopefully the background will be free of obstructions. I would most definitely go back! Not sure I'd find the same man, though. These places though,, It's very interesting. One just gets lost in observation...

Now that it has been mentioned, I can't agree more... Perfect observation, and thank you. I wish I would see things like you do one day Canon PowerShot S5 IS

MilenaMN Member  43 posts Joined Aug 2008 Location: Minneapolis, MN More info | I really don't have anything to say that hasn't yet been said. I just want to say great job, I love it. It is just a tiny bit dark generally speaking but it works well for this particular image because it adds to the mood.
