One image, two treatments. Please share your thoughts on which (if any) has greater impact for you.

Sepia toned

Colour

I think the first suits the subject matter best Peter. Really does look 100 years ago.

I does, but I think the second one also has a painting-like feel to it. I really liked the first one until I scrolled down and now I'm not sure which is best! So, no help here!

#1 with IR treatment :wink:

#2 - it sure looks like a painting

Try a third treatment...knock out some saturation to make it look old and add lots of noise and grain so that it looks like an autochrome. I think it would suit.

Matt I'd try that if I only knew what an autochrome was - is it one of those film things? :wink:

Edit: Found it - definition HERE

The second one for me (original colour), it really does look like a painting. (But then I'm not a fan of black & white so you can choose to ignore my comments. :roll:

That's not to say I don't like old black and white photos or movies, but they were black and white out of necessity.)

For me, the Colour one works with the picture as is (the green-ness on both sides of the photo); while the BnW one might work better with the right side cropped to remove the grassy-hill foreground.

hey stubbsy, the sepia version really jumps out at me over the colour, i think the sepia just makes it work so well! i love it!

Posted: **Sun Jul 08, 2007 5:07 pm**

another vote for the sepia.

At the risk of appearing indecisive, well, maybe that's not the right word, although it could be, anyway, I like all three. But if pressed, I would go with the autochrome.

I prefer the original colour, but I find the bright blue ... something ... in the upper left quadrant rather distracting.

I love the colour image, but the figure with the blue jacket on left bank distracts a bit. He's not obvious in B&W.
