Another fav. Is this totally b&w or just desaturated? Or are my eyes deceiving me ;) I'm possibly polychromatic so never sure whether my coloured cones are extra sensitive xx
@psychographer Thank you. I converted to b&w in Photoshop creating a layer using Silver Efex - I thought the b&w version looked too b&w so I experimented by reducing the opacity of the layer - seemed like a good compromise.
I prefer this edit - it immediately drew me in even though I had seen the colour edit. Lines everywhere - complemented by the gentle skin on the face! fv
I think I prefer the colour version - interested to know what you think
Thank you all so much for your fantastic response and comments to this photo from my walk around The Northern Quarter. This was taken quickly as I left the TeaCup - my purse was at the bottom of my rucksack and I felt guilty at the time that I'd taken a photo without asking and worse still hadn't put any money in his hat. After all your amazing comments I'm going to have to go back soon, hoping he plays there every Saturday, to thank him and leave some money.
