I will be the first one to admit. I can go wild in my post processing. Below is the image in color and the other has an interesting B & W effect. Does it work or should I just keep it a simple black and white conversion?






I really like the second one BUT did I go overboard.

CC welcome and appreciated.

I like it a lot. But, I'm a fan of extreme saturation and other "over the top" methods of rendering. Maybe it'll pass one day, but it seems to have gotten me out of a rut or relieved the boredom of the usual. I'm happy with it for the time being.

How did you do it and have you got anymore?

I like them both! To me, the second is the more interesting because it really brings out some of the gritty details of the enviroment.

I think it works great.

Actually very simple.. Lukas Arts filter and then I converted it to B&W. Most people do not convert to B&W.

Another one from the series

if a complete and total amateur opinion is of use, I prefer the first one. the B&W looks a little over done to me and almost like a drawing. I love the color contrasts of the man and the environment. I think it makes him 'pop' out as a powerful force in the room.


that said, both are wonderful.

Oh now, that guy is just too damn purdy.

All three look good to me. I like the cartoony look(if that is possible for B&W) of the 2nd one, but like the others too.
