Was able to get in one possible shot for #15. Can't decide between the sepia or the B&W version. C&C appreciated. Thanks so much!

    Toned one for me, even if it's more yellow than a sepia thumb.gif

    My turn :)

    In this case I prefer #1 because it's warmer and softer.

    Yeah #1. I'm not a fan of ordinary B&W. I prefer warmer tones.

    I've been waiting to see what you were coming up with!! Very nice indeed.

    The shot is definitely better in the "sepia," though I personally would fiddle with the tint a bit as I don't find the tone as pleasing as I think it could be. Maybe make it a little more on the brown side (add red?) and reduce the intensity of the color to give the shot more of an old photo look.

    Take my color comment with a huge grain of salt as it could easily be my monitor that is misleading me. Or my old eyes. :D

    Good luck. I always enjoy your entries.

    Virginia - Tatiana, thanks for the heads up on the yellowish appearance. It doesn't look that yellow on my monitor, though. ne_nau.gif Perhaps my calibration is a bit off.

    But your suggestions for adding more red were good ones. I fiddled with a few different tints and the results do look better. :D

    That's my mother-in-law. She lives with her daughter and they had adopted that little poodle earlier this year. His name is Peppi and he did not leave her side most of the night -- except to scold my dog. rolleyes1.gif

    Those two definitely have a bond.
