I'm playing with B&W conversion, i would like your opinion on these 2.


1st shot, with applied soft filter.




2nd shot, nothing, just converstion with some curves.




Or may be neither? :scratch

Thank you for your comments.

Oh, #1...but with the detailed eyes of #2. Nice conversions.

Now...what is this "soft filter" of which you speak? Camera filter or PP filter?

Llywellyn, it's actually not a fillter, it's a soft effect in PS. I guess i can sharpen eyes more in the 1st shot.

Thanks for you comment.

I love it...however I think the lone finger is distracting.

I like the way the filter softens down the skin variation but would love to see the eye sharpness retained. Nice shot!

Layer #1 over #2 and brush a hole in the layer mask for the eyes.
