Portrait of Kiran

[Ksnow]

I made this image of my friend, Kiran, on Monday during a blustery snow shower. PP in CS5, with original (B&W jpg) here just for comparison. Just trying to get the new year off to a good Ricoh start.

It is a nice shot and a very good pp... Thanks to share

Great processing! You transformed somewhat boring photo into an impressive piece of art worth hanging on the wall. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice work Ken.

 

[Ksnow]

Thanks to all for the kind comments

Lovely work in the pp. Not quite sows ear but definitely silk purse.

Well done , Ken !
Nothing to add to the comment of Pavel. He is sooooo right.

Cheers,
JONIE

>mainiac: LOL! I must admit that the PP'd version is quite a bit darker here on the forum than on my screen. But a sow's ear? :lol:

>Jonie: Many thanks!

 

[Duane Pandorf]

I too like how you've processed this shot!

I must admit that the PP'd version is quite a bit darker here on the forum than on my screen.

I cannot than agree it might be a bit lighter. As about the opinion the processing is great I have no objections.

>Duane: I shot in B&W jpeg and RAW, but only used the jpeg in CS5. To make a long story short: I used layers, adjusted levels slightly, upped the contrast a bit, used the healing brush to get rid of unwanted snow (it looked like dandruff), added a little vignetting, then burned the hell out of the area surrounding Kiran! :lol:

>Orol: Thanks for the comment. I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced uploading an image to the forum, and having it appear darker than how it was on their own system?

I like the "look" very much. The quality of the image may have been even better if you'd shot from closer in to get the maximum benefit from the lens / available pixels on the sensor.
