Default Cross Processed Dancer

I really did like the original on this but wondered what could be done with it.

I liked the sepia, black and white, grunge, and even the cross processed.
Here it is:

I used a couple of dragan/cross process filters and edited some of the properties to my liking.
All done in Lightroom

I like the colours that you decided to go for but the there just a tad to much dhadows and the noise in the backgrounds is kinda crazy much

Hi
I agree with Alex, I like the first shoot, love the shadows/colors
For the second one, the most distracting thing is the noise..I don't know if it u mean it..but it's not ok for me (my opinion )

Thanks for sharing it

Regards

I would have to dissagree with them, I like the second shot. The noise actually adds to the shot I think. It makes me look more at the focal point, and gives the shot more of a older quality. The harsh shadows add to that as well. The only thing that is somewhat bothersome in the second shot is all the Red on her ear!

I like the second shot better. I think the darkness and shading enhances it.

I like the second shot as well. It kind of has an old-timey, vintage feel to it. I also think the noise works. Good job!

I really really really like both of them, they are so different but wonderful in thier own way. The first one has an almost old fashioned feel to it and the 2nd one is much more modern looking in my opinion. Great job!

I prefer the 2nd one. The effect brings out interesting textures.

Unfortunately it also brings out the stripe in the dress of the dancer in foreground. My eye keeps getting drawn to it and I find it very distracting.

Both are very good, but i think the second is 'funky'! and more eye catching
