color choices
This photograph was shot on a recent morning in our driveway. The first view I get of each of my photographs is the RAW color data. There was something off about this image so I converted to grayscale and did some work with the tone curve. It is hard to decide which works better. On one hand, the subject just begs to be in color because, after all, it is a child painting with chalk. On the other, her dress is way too saturated in color and would take some work to edit. Maybe a compromise would be split toning? If I try this I’ll post the result. In the meantime, which one do you like better? (click to see a larger version)
