The Olympics of the photo manipulation

I used to not alter my photos because, well, they were always perfect. Yeah. Right. I had neither a computer, a digital camera or the patience to do all of that. But now that I have some time on my hands and a little more patience, I’ve decided to post several versions of the same photo for me to see which one I like best and of course, which one my HUGE reading public likes. By HUGE I mean all three of you.

This is a picture I took on the T, public transportation in Boston. I know, right? Natalia on public transportation, but stranger things have happened.

Anyway, here goes:

I think its a nice photo, but its missing that extra special something. Ok, here it is cropped:

Cropped more and in sepia, an old favorite of mine:

Cropped even more, black and white:

Cropped even more, in sepia:

To all you haters out there, I can take pictures, see?

  1. Which one is the best one
    I think the second color one and the first sepia one are the best. the last sepia one is missing something compared to the first one. i like it better when there is more in the picture of the person standing on the right. and even if the effects in sepia and black and white looks nice, i relly like the ones in color. the funny thing about them is that they look like some pictures from the 80ies. maybe it´s the colors…

  2. suggestion
    I need a bit more people in the last 3 cts. They are to small – you are loosing the setting telling the story about the “two lovers in public”. Your narrow cuts are just “two lovers” with no story to tell.
    Suggest you take the first crop (not the original) and move it into B&W / Sephia – then I’ll comment.
