Helpful Posts: Took this photo while I was getting ready for a family photo shoot in a local park last weekend.
It was just a grab shot to test camera settings and I was quite pleased with how it came out.
The woman had just sat down on the bench and I saw her close her eyes, lift her face to the sun and enjoy the warmth.
Just loved the expression and sense of contentment in this image.
I have posted a before and after but would really like some input from my peers as to what might improve this image.
Cheers, Greg

Re: Warming in the sun
Harsh lighting conditions, as is this image, often lend themselves to superior B&W images...try it.

Re: Warming in the sun
Really don't know what I'm doing with B&W conversions but anyway here it is.

Re: Warming in the sun
One more trick ya might try...select the lady and do the conversion separately on her and the background.
