Rainy street, B&W

Looks great in B&W …good work :)

I love this!! Very classy and romantic in B&W.

I’m no expert in photography, but this has the feel of a classic shot to me.

fantastic image. it is perfect in b/w. i love her reflection on the pavement. great perspective. well done.

It has a classic look about it

this is perfect; there is a hardness from detail that make the contrast and reflections real and give a ‘feeling’ of wetness on something hard, concrete.

you done well maka, this has turned into a very moody picture, and very classy

Looks good Zhao.

I would have liked to see it as a SC, with just the colour of the red light reflection.

This is lovely, well done!

I think this is much better in black and white. It has wonderful contrast throughout the image.

looks brilliant in B/W also

Fantastic b&w piece!

no Zhao this looks amazing in the B&W and has amazing tones, looks very elegant!!!!! well done

Great shot, great work in B&W!!

very good shot of needle heels in a rainy street!!

Wonderful mono version,touch of s/c would top it off my friend IMHO :-)

Beautiful.

i like the black and white!!

This is beautiful. There is a magical silence in this image. As if it comes to me from another moment in time, like a dream or flashback. Love how the girl changed into a silhouette.

great shot

Congratulations on making the feature page. Great image.

wow
this is soooo cooool

Congrats on this making the home page Zhao.

Richard.

Sorry. I meant the featured page. :-))

Great setting – makes for ‘In the Moment’ Portraiture. Candid. Brilliant, perfect.

With regards to the treatment in Photoshop – perfect. Try a grain effect and see what you think. My experience is too just experiment with Photoshop and see what you like and always ask for constructive feedback. Layers are very useful to get different lighting effects, textures and all sorts of cool effects. Check out my folio and you’ll see what I mean.

Fantastic shot. Iove the effect whatever it was!!

gorgeous. i love the black and white.

wow. very beautiful image :)

I think that you did a fantastic job with the monochrome effect. An excellent candid capture. Well done.

I like the “glossy” look of this, Maka. The choice of umbrella and hand bag with contrasty dots is a real plus. Nice fluid motion to her walk and you caught her in perfect stride.
If you like, I can tell you how to convert to BW using LAB mode in PS, although you seemed to have nailed it in this image. Nice job!

I love this photo. It reminds me of a cool fashion shot from the 60’s!! the B&W is perfect.

This is fun ..I really like it!

excellent shot

wonderful photo…excellent composition

Super poster shot!

Very elegant!

good shot.

however, i think that the contrast / shadows are just a litte bit too dark. also, if you want to go that extra step, you could try to fix the slight horizon tilt in PS. i’m not sure what version of PS you have but in the latest one, the BW adjustment layer has quite a few options which can be tweaked to your liking. these are just my thoughts anyway.

also, the shot does work a lot better in B&W.

cheers

I’m not sure that Jeremy’s comment applies to the whole image, but perhaps the your subject could have slightly more detail brought out. I love the composition.

beautiful…..

.....when i think of polkadots, it is so black and white, you have magnificently created something. i am drawn to this.

This is a true classic Maka.
How many people could capture something like this.

IM

ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh I LUHV HER.
Great shot.

The black and white has made all the difference in this shot. Fantastic.

black and white fits the context and era

Fantastic shot. Classic French 50’s feel and a tip of the cap to Bresson.

I agree with most of these comments…it is a beautiful shot…very classical and Parisian…just love it. I think it looks great as is!

I love the classic feel of this shot. It makes me want to sit inside and watch old black and white movies! Great image.

Excellent photograph..really a beautiful capture.. brilliant subject that really catch all the attention!

Beautiful! I think this must look even better in B/W than in color. It looks as though it COULD have come out of a 1967 Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar (I know, I was there lol).

I’m not a pro by any means and have recently been working with B&W and B&W as post production. I generally use adjustment layers, such as levels and contrast, and normal layers for opacity, multiple, etc. to get a look I like. I tend to like ‘dark’ B&W with ‘highlight’ or slight contrast. To me this looks very cool. I agree with Damien and Periwinkle’s observations of how your image comes across. Nicely done!

Great fashion mood :))

love it!

I like your composition in this one.

Excellent work :)

Just outstanding and perfect for candid group:)

This is perfect! Terrific contrast!

Great capture. I really like the black and white tones and your composition.
