Week 1





A local church

Before conversion, I used "soft light" to effectively dodge and burn (effectively meaning "in effect" not with effect). Then, follow fotomann forever's tutorial on dpc (www.dpchallenge.com---learn>---tutorials-->conversion from color to bw), I did one hue/saturation layer over the color one. Desaturated it to -100. Then, did another layer and adjusted the hue until I like it. Finally, merged the layers.

great start to the year. the original color picture is very strong, and the black and white representation is equally eye-catching.

This is nice work :) It's very moody and your b/w processing is great here... keep it up :)

I am not sure which of these images I like the best. The colour one has intensity and the B&W image has mood and emotion. Great shots!

The black and white is interesting but I really love the color version. Very moody!

When I first looked at the color shot I though what an amazing shot. Then I scrolled to see the B&W conversion and I was amazed at how much better it was. Very nicely done.

It's amazing how much a difference the treatment of a photo can make. Same exact picture with two totally different feelings. Very cool!

This is a nice conversion to B&W. The steeple really stands out well. I look forward to visiting your site because the theme is interesting to me.
