experience to date with colour has been film where the final finish is determined by what's on the box - Kodachrome, Velvia 50, T64 etc.. now shooting digital with DNG files and Lightroom software is a total choice overload. not being one to read manuals and study tutorials, i've been 'learning' on the fly and am both amazed and paralysed at the amount of colour image manipulation available.
this is one image that, to me, is more appropriate to be shown in colour.
is is too over the top in terms of shadow detail, reduced luminance and saturation?
plus any comments, critique, tips/tricks on lighting, general composition and subject matter would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance!
