Shell Collage

For the B&W Book Club. For more info: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/20950/bw-book-club-week-2-feb-3-9
I think I like the blue filter the best. Open to any critique!

This is a lovely and very interesting collage, Sally, and it was wonderful of you to mark the different filters on each picture. I absolutely agree with you on the blue filter...for this image it certainly give the best contrast and detail of the shell. Do you still use the B&W processing method which you have told me about 2-3 months ago, the layered technique with the B&W layer being made a "hue" layer?

[Brigette]

wow.. i'm learning a lot here!! I get the blue filter - but also like the slightly softer yellow

[Gillian]

I agree with the preference for the blue filter. A great collage, Sally, to show the difference.

@ericdibosco Eric, I do on occasion but I have silver efex on trial at present so playing nicely with that! I did this collage in Picasa.

[Penny Price]

Interesting experiment, must have a go at this.

Were those a filter in camera or post process?
