Black and white version of my Dreams shot. Another one for my get pushed challenge to take a photo that encapsulates the phrase "in my dreams"

So here it is in black and white. I like both. Something about the colour gave me more the feel of 'the theatre' when I was first playing with the editing but looking at it now I kind of like it. Which do you prefer?

[Simply Amanda]

Maybe the color. I did like the red seats. It's pretty contrasty, though. Can you soften it up?

[Edie]

@amandal soften the colour or the black and white? You mean how bright she is? I can try but am not sure.

[Edie]

Okay. I just softened this one. What do you think?
@amandal

[Simply Amanda]

Better softer and better in color in the end, I think. The tones are great as are the red seats.

[Edie]

@amandal I agree. Thank you.

[Mac]

You convey childhood dreams and thoughts with mastery.

[Amy]

you are so creative. Well done.

[Deni]

Amazing processing here, well done.

[Edie]

@amandal
Okay. It's been bugging me all day. I hate when I can't make it do what I want it to. Finally I redid the black and white version a little and now it's my favourite. Moving on...

[Simply Amanda]
