DSLR Photography Forum

Thanks in advance for your comments

I hate to tell you, love, but... it looks a bit pale and foggy to me. I think it needs a lot more contrast, and maybe sharpness too. I like the composition, though.

See you soon!

I like the composition, but as Guerito said, it does seem to be lacking a lot of contrast, looks washed out.

Thanks for your comments. I think I was influences by the weather. I played a little with the original to cheer up the colors, and I think looks better.

Here are my two quick renditions. I set the black and white point on the color shot, then sharpened mildy.

I used the color for the b&w. I used channel mixer, then a setting of diffuse glow 1, 12, 15 then reduced opacity to 30%.

Thoughts?

Much better Irma, far more detail and texture.

lol lol .. yeah.. great job Irma.

Okay Jeri... your BW conversion is cool too..... Didn't mean to ignore ya!

yikes... not my intention bob. i thought you were looking at the correction pictures and thinking they were irma's. I sent in both a color and a b&w. its a seinfeld moment. anyhow.................

Yours are really standing out Jerry! I will try your advice with some other flowers I have.

Thanks a lot!
