 Levels | Roly

 Crop | Roly

 BW conversion | Roly
(553) [2007-10-18 19:35:12] [2] | | I did a very simple BW conversion because in my opinion BW is more suitable for character portraits. Especially here, the colors do not add too much to the picture. I am sure you can generate better tonal ranges using a more elaborate technique. I increased the contrast just a bit, sharpened the eyes and cropped to a square format because you have a lot of empty space in the original image. I think that the eyes stand out a bit better now. What do you think? |

 Black and white | Roly
(553) [2007-08-19 09:59:01] | | Black and white version of the same image. The conversion was simple, by selecting grayscale in Photoshop, and boosting the contrast slightly. Which one do you prefer? |
