Dear Christopher, always look at your pictures with admiration! Thanks for sharing!
What is "BN" ?
bianco nero Italian for black and white–I assume as I'm not Christopher.
Thanks.
At the risk of offending, here's a version where the background and table get a saturation adjustment of -60%... ?
I think it's a beautiful image, just that the background and table were a bit too... pink.
In toned monochrome, a tighter cropping (ouch) and sharpening only the shavings and the edge of the basket ? Again, I'll gladly delete these if I am stepping over the line.
The pink didn't bother me - I kind of like it a smidge better. Definitely colour over BN.
Sorry Ken, but in your version it looks like it was taken in morgue, the only thing missing is a cadaver on the slab.
