Description I dream in black and white..

[note: while I'm waiting for my camera to return, I've updated some of my older photos. I didnt much like the heavy grunge that I put on the first version of this photo. And I'm really into b/w photos these days. I've used a monochromatic channelmixer to convert to b/w, and burn/dodge tool to enhance contrasts. I hope you like it. I'll leave the old one in my gallery for a while incase you want to compare]

Hi and thanks for your comment. I just used the burn/dodge standard photoshop tool. I think the tricky part is just using the right brush size, and selecting which tones you want to work on. I usually dodge highlights and burn shadows, midtones i rarely touch, but it could be different with a different camera. Some cameras captures contrasts better than others..

haunting...

i love the airplane streak in the sky coupled with the title and the contemplative person....it's like the streak is the sould of a lost one immortalized in the heavens...gorgeous.

woooow excellent! i love the compositon! the lone figure in such a desolate place gives such a lovely contrast. it also gives me the idea that if it were in color that the surroundings would be burning with orange light. (or maybe i'm just obsessed with orange )

fantastic work!

Wow! This is all around perfect... beautiful composition, wonderful capture of the textures of the sand, and the lighting and shadows.... damn, just impressive.

I'd be an idiot not to +fav this!

I really liked the colored version of this, but I think this may bring across what you were trying to say even more because of the darkness around the subject, which looks a lot like loss to me.

I'll have to look for the origional, but I really like this version. Very simple, but with a lot of depth... strong for what it show, as well as what it doesn't. Very nice work!
