Srutkay74 Posted March 31, 2010 Share #15 Posted March 31, 2010 I love the first and third shots...the eyes make it for me... the black and white is great, what didnt you love about it in color? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share #16 Posted March 31, 2010 srutkay, thank you for your comment - glad you liked my shots. i also like the colored versions, but i felt that the b&w versions had more interesting contrasts, especially after fiddling around with filters... have a look yourself, enclosed the colored version of shot #3 ... markus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissah Posted April 6, 2010 Share #17 Posted April 6, 2010 just saw these... 1st one stunning. i do like the color but the B/W really turns the background into something. best,melissa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
