Hi
I have been trying some new ideas with the soap and bubble series of the images I have been taking.

Would like your opinion comments and critiques on this B&W compared to the coloured ones. If its something that looks good I might try giving a shot to some that might end up looking better in B&W.

I cannot control totally the patterns or colours, only partially, but can certainly make them either more concentrated in patterns and colours like the B&W image, or put more emphasis on wider patterns, or oblongs etc. I think the wider and smoother patterns do look good in colour so I am not sure about B&W and if any looks good at all.

There is a possibility of creating a certain different pattern like the bottom one, but I would like your views and opinion please.

Tnank you

All are fantastic and excellently cropped and all have their own uniqueness.

Althogh the B&W one doesn't have the same oomph as the other 2, it doesn't mean that it doesn't work.

I'll PM you tomorrow morning

Have you tried using one of the artistic filters in photoshop ie watercolour or dry brush?

no I haven't tried anything such as that, not yet. I have just been using the basic sharpening tools and the curves. Still a lot to explore , I will give it a go and check it
