Exercise: Interpretative processing

This exercise looks at personal taste instead of simply focussing on getting the image'right'.  Getting your image correct is a means of optimising the image whereby the image has no clipping in the highlights or the shadows and has a full range of contrast.  However this is not a rule and sometimes you can look at personal taste and how you would like your image to look.

This exercise focuses on processing an image to give different interpretations of the original shot - interpretations that are instinctively yours.  

This is the image I chose in its original state. I chose this image as I felt the subject matter and composition would offer interesting possibilities when it came to interpretations.  

Original

I experimented a lot with the presets in Lightroom and did some soft focus effects in Photoshop.  

These are the best images:

Creamtone

High Contrast

Duotone

Slightly bleached colour

Soft focus


My favourite images are creamtone, Duotone and the Slightly bleached colour.Creamtone and Duotone make the subject more prominent in the shot.
