Converted Portrait

[manwez]

Edited using photoshop...changed image to B&W, used the clone tool to elimiate the silver drawer handle. Put a gaussian blur layer over the image and used the eraser to go over the eyes, and a few other parts (hair, cheekline, nose). Used vignette to darken the corners.

i love the bw conversion and the angle you shot at was great... what a sweet little boy. great shot!

Aww that smile is precious! I love the before and the after, but I'm glad you cloned out that handle. He seemed to be sprouting a metal rod from his ear and that's not healthy

Hahaha yeah.. I loved the pic but every time I looked at it I saw that darn handle! So I finally edited it out. You're right...metal rods are not healthy when protruding from body parts!

Hi I'd love to learn how to do that. Can I send you a PM to learn more in detail about what you did for each step? Thanks so much!

I actually prefer the colour one...minus the metal protrusion of course! The bw version just doesn't have a high enough contrast for me.
