YOUNG BUSKER

[FUJI]

This young busker was very happy for me to take portraits of him this morning.

I like this one, Fuji. He looks very relaxed to be photographed and his Celtic colouring comes up well in the coloured version.

That's a nice portrait Fuj and I like the colour version particularly.  The mono conversion hasn't been too kind to his freckles and ginger hair though.  If you are converting using something that gives you control over the colour channel, try reducing the intensity of the yellow channel.  Alternatively, if you have something like NIK or Topaz, try introducing a yellow filter into the conversion process.  That would be my preference (but others may not agree).

Agreed, John.

Thank you.....I must try that.....especially if he sends for copies.
