Interesting photo, but digitally altered images (like this and the others you've recently posted) are not for APUG. Try www.hybridphoto.com.
Here are the APUG gallery rules:
PLEASE refrain from posting any images that have been manipulated digitally such as converting color images to black and white, photoshop filtering tricks, etc. Also no multi-media/mixed media hybrid images or hybrid images in general, this includes digitally enlarged negatives which are then contact printed (see our sister site hybridphoto.com if you are interested in sharing such work). All images posted should be a representation of 100% traditional work, typically negative scans or print scans produced from a 100% traditional workflow.
The uploaded image should be the best representation of the actual final print and nothing more. We still accept neg scans in the galleries. We accept that some adjustment of contrast, brightness and sharpness may be needed to match the physical print and, for negative scans, to approximate a straight print.
Failure to follow the above rules will result in deletion of your image. Please respect the spirit of this community and our desire to share scans of 100% traditional based work in the galleries. If you understand the above rules then click below to continue. Thank You.
It would probably be an ok pic on its own, but you just had to screw it up with ps.
You need to invest in a real darkroom, and do it properly. As it is, this is so very ho-hum.
Woww..I like how I got jumped on w/ both feet.
Ok.. I scanned the last 2 images I posted in color mode because I get better results tonaly from a B&W neg. The resulting coloring appeared to be interesting. So instead of reverting to gray scale i left them as is.. the second one I toned down the color.
I am not trying to break rules. I do appreciate your opinions though and humbly respect your advise. I just built a darkroom and will be posting picture of her soon.
