Kissed by the Sunlight

Uploaded: June 28, 2005

Description

This is the exact same photo as Kissed by the Light, just converted to black and white. I would love opinions on which one looks better.

Photo taken outside on May 30th, sometime around 7:30 or 8:00 PM. No flash used, just the natural light from the sun as it was beginning to set. I'm not sure of the camera settings, although I probably had it on portrait mode or automatic. Editing was done using Paint Shop Pro 6. I despeckled, used unsharp mask, brightened and increased contrast just a bit, cropped it, and converted to black and white.
