M8 - 50 lux pre-asph - comments are welcomed

In B&W ...

P-O, I think you have mastered this genre. Well done.

Pierre-Olivier, a superb picture but too much post-processed. I see a line around his head and the skin is not "natural".

arminw · 03/25/08, 08:22 PM

Yes beautiful subject , nice capture ... BUT I think you over-sharpened this image .

wilfredo · 03/25/08, 08:38 PM

Pierre-Olivier:

Beautiful image but to add to some of the comments above the contrast is a bit extreme. That aside, you have an incredible talent for capturing humanity.

Can you post the original color version for a look?

My B&W shots need much more experience. This a versioin in colour (I hope a bit better) :

TONTONTINTIN.123 · 03/25/08, 09:10 PM

Much better in color. I like it. Super, Pierre-Olivier.

hiphop · 03/25/08, 09:38 PM

B&W revisited... better ? At least less sharpening and contrast.

TONTONTINTIN.123 · 03/25/08, 09:46 PM

Yesyesyes.

michiel_fokkema · 03/25/08, 10:13 PM

Last one is the best for me.
Maybe even tone down the contrast a bit more.
Cheers,

The (subdued) color version really works, emphasizes the simplicity of the image, and personalizes it. B&W makes it too abstract. Either way, it's a wonderful photo and congratulations for the capture.

Pierre Olivier,

Firstly its a great shot.
THe color version is just on the edge in terms of overdoing the PP.
Both of the B&W are over processed IMO,, the 2nd is better but still too much.
Of course just my opinion,

kind regards

I love the color version. Great shot!

Hello Pierre Olivier,

fantastic picture!...

..

I think the B/W versions are to much manipulated in PS...the color Version is very good in power and shadow/light balance...

Pierre-Olivier -

Gorgeous monk, and composition, and I agree with all the above regarding how fine this image is, and how it is over processed.

Pierre-Olivier,
Your third try is the best, although your color version is a powerful one. Thanks for posting.

Thank you Ed.
For me too the third one is the best (technically).
But at the end of the day I really prefer the first one. Unfortunately I was wrong with the sharpening and could not adjust it. I like the tones of the first one and shall try to work it better in order to obtain an acceptable shot (technically speaking).
B&W is a tough world but a good way for the learning process....
