Conversion done with Silkypix, far smoother than PE


As shot

Given the discussions we've had on B&W and color, it is of interest to to see the effects of converting or not, and even how differing workflows can change the results.

I find both color and B&W appealing, in the latter case the SP conversion is much smoother and more to my taste than the Photoshop Elements one. I truly like SIlkypix despite or even because of its quirky interface ;)

Even though I tend to be a Blk & White Girl
in this instance I prefer the Color Version
it still has an ethereal quality with the blue...the blue is so Subtle
very nice indeed

I like this image, great self portrait. often we don't have enough images of us as photographers.

I think the lamp helps make this image. It would less without it IMHO. :)

Yes the background/surroundings affect how we see things, I note the images here look quite different here than on flickr's white background!
