Theme Thursday - contrast

I am participating in Stacy's Theme Thursday although I missed last week's color theme. This week is contrast.

Here is a photo of Carlos by Carlos Santana pump my 18 year-old daughter received for Christmas from her grandma.

The first contrast is with a few adjustments in Photoshop. Unsharp mask and then bumping up the blue contrast so the jeans pop. I like okay



Now some variations with black and white

Here is just converting to black and white:





More contrast for this look:



Lastly, I played with shadows and highlights. I like this the best.




Any other votes?

  8. I sure like that 3rd picture. Makes the gloss on the shoe tips really pop.
