I like the tones and contrast, but I still like the color version better for the brassy color.
Leslie Battjes replied
I’m glad you mentioned the tones/contrast…I really worked on the conversion and had a couple different versions before I came up with this one. This really emphasized the form and the metal most, but I agree about liking the color version…that toning was really great. Thanks for comparing! :)
John Edwards
Superb tones. A great image for B&W
Leslie Battjes replied
Thanks, John…I’m glad you like it. Metal and simple form seem to work well in B&W.

I like the B&W better. Love the tones
Leslie Battjes replied
Interesting….I had a feeling that there would be a split in those liking color vs. B&W! :) What makes you like this version better?
mausue
Conversion works well. Agree with John nice tones and good detail!
Leslie Battjes replied
Thanks, Mausue. I appreciate your thoughts on this.

Yep, nice B&W but still like the brass too much in the color version!
Leslie Battjes replied
I knew you’d say that! :) Thanks for comparing them…I appreciate it. It helps when deciding when and what to convert!

The difference between wanting to eat a soup that looks good to eat or wanting to eat the soup that looks yummy.
The other picture looks “not” yummy.
I don’t know, like it’s off and then you look at this picture and you go ahhhh. The other golden tones colors go mush. They mush together where these tones seem to just go “ding ding” and sing together not unlike someone’s face that is way over “golden” and harsh and done wrong in the wrong color and then someone moves it to a nice B&W tone and it works. This is a GREAT example of keeping those B&W tones in tact when moving to B&W. You should really keep this in a portfolio for an example.
OH and for those of you out there wondering why I’m critiquing her pics ~ she loves me ~ he he.

Leslie Battjes replied
Yep…she’s fam…gotta get honest critique from fam :) Thanks, Micki…

You did an excellent job in post-process on the conversion! It glows.. and pops out at you… really 3D. I just prefer the color.
Leslie Battjes replied
Thanks, John….It’s always good to hear what works and why. :)
Micki Ferguson
lol ~ see John has always been a bit brassy :)
he he
no matter which way you look at it color OR b&w you really got the 3D down on this. Down right. Did you put a filter on it?
Just curious what you did to it to smooth it a bit. Reminds me a bit of what I did whit Andrew on his “waiting” picture I did of him that made him look old. Softens you up but turns color to a warmer tone.
Leslie Battjes replied
LOL! Poor John :)
Nope, no filter, Micki.
