Lone Shepherd bw
BW version of a previous upload. Image in colour then edited in Silver Efex 2 by Google Collection. Green filter to show different contrast between poppies (dark-red) and field (green-clear and bright). BW has been useful to recover more details in clouds and sky ….almost lost in colour version. This editing works so so….IMHO. C & C welcome.
Thx for not expected POTW.

I too like this more than the colour one, as said above 'worth the effort'.

Gob-smacked good! Really remarkable composition in this well-developed pastoral image I find hard to turn away from. The dog is particularly "placed" beautifully.

GIULIO…… by removing the colour, somehow you’ve made the whole scene ageless.
It is wonderful! And more depth than the full colour version.
(I wonder what the old shepherd would have said had he known this was your work!!)

Never be afraid to talk about your techniques...

Thank you very much for your comment. I don't know what shepherd would have said....but I can Imagine.. ." Go to work" he would have said ( photo info of color version).
