The Monk


The Monk

A portrait image of a monk on the street. I was never quite sure if he was overly happy about be taking the shot. He nodded yes, but the image itself tends to show a different story. after much toial to trouble I manged to figure out a method of B&W conversion which really drops the background into a nice black while at the same time pushes the focus of the image forward giving it a studio like appearance. I am particulaly happy with this one and really like the way the face sits with in the darkness.
