Cindi asked why I went with black and white over color for this image of Lauren yesterday. I put in the comments that Larry, Doug and I were using a gold reflector so much Saturday that I think I had it in my head to process these images very warm, and I was afraid I went too warm. And I also felt black and white really gave it a timeless, fine art kind of look. So, here's the color version. Comments welcome on which you like better.

It's toss-up for me Steve. I can't easily pick one over the other. I lean a little more to the color version with the extra pop it seems to give it.
ReplyDeleteI do not think this image is too warm (did you tone that down?) I think it is wonderful. I'm with Doug on trying to choose between the two versions --- the black and white IS timeless, but the color has a little something extra for me. Just a superb portrait no matter what.
ReplyDeleteYes, brought down the warmth a little in the version here. I guess I am of the old school, when I doubt my exposure or temp I look at a black and white version, and I liked it right away so that's why my initial post was b&w.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to look more in that direction myself Steve. I'm pressing forward with some Bleach Bypass effects too.
