02 The Northern Quarter edit

@salza @psychographer
I think I prefer the colour version - interested to know what you think

Another fav. Is this totally b&w or just desaturated? Or are my eyes deceiving me ;) I'm possibly polychromatic so never sure whether my coloured cones are extra sensitive xx

Super

Really like this a bunch. THink that you did a good job with the edit. What a candid!

I really like your processing along with the composition.

I really like this edit.

Great title fit this photo but especially with that process!

@psychographer Thank you. I converted to b&w in Photoshop creating a layer using Silver Efex - I thought the b&w version looked too b&w so I experimented by reducing the opacity of the layer - seemed like a good compromise.

Wonderful street portrait

Looks good to me.

its good faded out a bit, would be garish in full colour and too cold in black and white

I like this. Not so harsh as black and white

Excellent shot, love it

This one is the winner for me. The faded tones are lovely, but the scene is brilliant.

love this, the edit is perfect too

Love this edit. It's perfect.

i liked the other one, but prefer this edit - the subdued tones match the subject so well

It's more timeless this way, but I love the other.

I like very much the juxtaposition of the street performer with the shop sign!

Great processing, love the partial B&W.

I prefer this edit - it immediately drew me in even though I had seen the colour edit. Lines everywhere - complemented by the gentle skin on the face! fv

Hm, well I like the color version. Really great composition, it's classic.

Stuuuuunning!

Thank you all so much for your fantastic response and comments to this photo from my walk around The Northern Quarter. This was taken quickly as I left the TeaCup - my purse was at the bottom of my rucksack and I felt guilty at the time that I'd taken a photo without asking and worse still hadn't put any money in his hat. After all your amazing comments I'm going to have to go back soon, hoping he plays there every Saturday, to thank him and leave some money.

@jocasta He looks very nicely dressed, so there is perhaps a chance.

@jocasta I wonder if he would also appreciate a print of the shot?

Great shot also! I like the composition and lines. Your processing suits is well.
