p.1 #1 · Portrait, not sure if to PP or not


I'm not sure why, but I really like this photo I took of the girl. Not the most flattering angle or time of day but I like it anyway. If anyone has any recommendations about how to post process this photo that would be great. I was thinking maybe even b/w? let me know what you think I should do

How about trying it in B&W and seeing if you like it? If it were my photo I would lighten up the photo as it appears underexposed. But that's the beauty of digital... you can try different versions and see what works best.

+1 on the B&W conversion and maybe a square crop to eliminate the object on the right?

in my very amateur opinion, :-) i would say clean it up with some noise reduction software and crop alot of that blanket off. its definitely better as B&W

+1 on the crop suggestion. I'd remove some of the bottom. - you don't need the entire elbow, in fact the pic is stronger if you lop-off the tip.

i would go the opposite of b+w.

Clean it up and brighten it up and then punch up the colors. The orange and red are energetic and work together. With her warm smile, it might all work really well to have a colorful lounging shot.

Cropped it a little and I put a noise filter on in photoshop, not sure if it made any difference. I definitely like the b+w more
