Default A new technique for me, what do you think?

I did 50% sepia and about 50% color. I like this effect but what do you think?

Thanks!

Hi there,

You might want to have a look at the critique forum rules and adjust your post. This should probably be in the post processing critique section rather than portraits, too. Thanks!

Hi Sue, for this image the half and half combination does not work for me. It appears that the sepia just dilutes the color part of the original image. Hope that helps you decide.

Hi there, I quite like a muted colour effect and I think it looks okl here, and often does with little kids/babies...but that's my taste. The only thing is that it's a little dull, nothing stands out, if you brought out the colour of her eyes a little it would help that.
