 It was a very tough decision between submitting my color version or the black and white version. I am drawn to the B&W portraits though. I really tried hard this time to enter the color version but everything in my head said that the B&W was much better! That makes 3 B&W self portraits in a row.

I think the color version needed to be cropped in tighter and it would work better but I am going out of town and only had 3 days to come up with the idea, shoot it and enter it. I don't have time to reedit so B&W it is. If it was not for the knock out side challenge I would not have stressed about getting it done. Hopefully I move on to the next round and this would not be in vane.

Color version:



Basic processing. Curves, levels, ...etc. channel mixer for B&W conversion and topaz adjust (clarity), my favorite Topaz preset for B&W.
