Look !!!!

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi all , half of the year is done and i have seen some great stuff over this period .
I will leave the June and take the last opportunity for posting a Duo tone B/W of my seals .
Image taken on recent trip to Helgoland .

Canon EOS 1Dx
EF 200 - 400 IS L at 442 mm with TC engaged .
Handheld

F 8 ; Iso 16000; 1/2500 sec ; Auto Iso ; man exp

Processed with DPP 4 and PS CC 2015; conversion through a script i own and reduced the DUO tone for a lower coloration . Cropped for comp .

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous thread

Cheers Andreas

Hi Andreas. The textures and tonal contrast really make this guy pop!
It works well for me - nice deep blacks and bright whites. And the look is priceless!

Hi Andreas - Another well done seal portrait with a low pov. The conversion works for me as well. I like the way the sand shows up all over him.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Andreas -- superb portrait ! The conversion absolutely works for me , loved the texture of the seal . TFS !

[Gabriela Plesea]

Yep, it works Boetie, ISO 16000 and all! I like the textures here, very much. This would print so well.

Super shot, lovely expression on the Seal's face, framing, presentation, tonality. Well done Andreas! Congrats my friend!

Warmest regards,

[Andreas Liedmann]

Thanks all folks for your kind comments , much appreciated .

Hi Andreas, to me the subject needs to lend itself to any conversion and take it up a gear. sadly I feel this works better in colour oppose to the conversion, just my tastes.

Thanks Steve for your comment , as always much appreciated , but actually i never will get your view when an image lends itself into a conversion , funny you said that to most of my seal images that i converted into a B/W , so for you the seals seems to be not the greatest B/W subjects ,
But no big deal for me , will take your view as posted .

Thanks again , Andreas
