Always a fan!

Thanks Y'all!

For this photograph, I knew I wanted a wall with plenty of ivy in the background. I also knew that that foilage would only serve as a texture backdrop.

I decided to use a 50mm at f/1.8 because I wanted a shallow depth of field.

Here is the original file:


This is the next incarnation, where I desaturate blue, cyan, and red channels.

Obviously, I also darkened the blue and cyan channels for a richer black.

For the final version, which I submitted, I simply touched up some dirt specs on my door.

Thanks again for the votes.

Though off-topic, I like the original much better.
