Today I brought to the table six photos I took almost one year ago, last May. I found myself in a proper mood for some photo editing, stumbled upon said folder (the event took place at the Fencer's Day festival at St. Petersburg), and I left it with having some double and triple takes processed in Photoshop - exactly the stuff to share in this community. Hope you like my selection, and on my side - I always appreciate your opinions and fave picks. 🐈

Have your pleasure with the Art of Black-and-White photography!

(Actually, this one was staged... I did not direct the model, but we posed me, and smiled like mad having massive lulz while I was making my captures - god knows why!).

And the uncropped version looks like this:

Here I strongly prefer the uncropped version in B+W.

Young jedy's at training; I think I love monochrome more here.

Sparring!

Monochrome conversion here is very convincing ... but still, colour version is so good and in its own right, that I cant choose one for sure. Which you would vote for?

This one would be easy to pick! the colour one, right?.. or not?..

At the velodrome. Here without any hesitation, I go for monochrome version. Damn convincing!

All pictures taken by me. I present some oldies today, everything you see is my evening walk with .... across a few central streets of St.Petersburg.

And the last experiment for today. In this case I go with the colour version, it seems to me more convincing. (And monochrome is weak, not juicy at all). And what about you?
