Toned photo with untoned photo

I really like the toned version; it adds a bit of warmth to the image, makes me want to pickup the instrument (even though I don't play one).

You gotta make yo ax look like you wanna play it, not plate it. The toned 'graph be the warm kinda right kinda cool....which is the most waaay cool cool....ya dig? I know you do.....

Nice one, lean towards the one on the left also...love the warmth. Congratulations, a really nice shoot.

The toned one sits better with me as well. It just suits the instrument, topic, and subject matter better. Both the cone and the trumpet.
I think brass instruments such as a trumpet should be warm and inviting, the toning was a good decision.
With that said I'm a sucker for warm tones... It's not like the other one is bad or anything. It's a very well crafted shot either way.

well done. toning when it's used correctly is great. makes the photo that much more expressive.

Thanks everyone! Ann taught a great class and up until last weekend I had never toned one photo! I really like the warmth, too. The print is grand!

Jeanette, Wonderful image...great job.

This toned one is really beautiful. I'd be grateful if you were to share the process you used in copper toning... ?
