Some particular quality about this photo allures me, and I think it’s the hat – not just because one of my favorite editors, Mark Edelson, noted my fondness for hats – which is true – but also the curvy lines of the tree and the entirety of the frame taking on a slight resemblance to a tilt-shift product. The sharp point of light on the subject’s sunglasses and the slight separation of shirt and arm make it, said Sid Hastings, another favorite (and local) editor. the only question remaining — how does it compare in black & white? I tried several variations using calculations and lab conversions with different results. You’re welcome to try out some conversions and let me know what you think.
