One Four Challenge Week 3 – Los Banos

One Four Challenge Week 3 – Los Banos

For this week’s variation, I opted to do a monochrome edit. Getting a good monochrome version of this image was a challenge because there was little tonal variation in the image.

Here is a comparison of this week’s image and the original.

And here is a gallery of all four images thus far.

Next week, see another version


One Four Challenge

In the One Four Challenge, we select an original image and then explore different edits or interpretations on subsequent weeks. The One Four Challenge was started by Robyn G several years ago and is now revitalized by Leanne Cole and me. (We may see Robyn here from time to time.) We would love for others to join us in exploring our images. This challenge is beneficial as it encourages learning new techniques and pushing creative boundaries. And it’s fun! Remember to include the tag One Four so your work appears in the WordPress Reader for everyone to admire. I share my posts on Wednesdays in the Western Hemisphere, while Leanne shares hers on Thursdays in Australia and the Eastern Hemisphere. Join us! For more information, go here.

  2. Monochrome is so good for this image Joanne, it has been a great image for the challenge this morning. I like what you have done.

    1. Thanks for your comment, Leanne. It’s nice to hear you (and Egidio above) say the monochrome works so well. As I noted, it was a bit of a challenge to get a good monochrome of it.

  3. I really like this monochrome version too Joanne. The tones are lovely, so nice work and it seems to bring out some texture as well.
