Let's go Fly a Kite

I love pictures that are all black and white except for a few touches of colour. A friend of mine did a great one of a group of people at the "Walk for the Cure" fundraiser that was all monochrome except for a few splashes of bright pink. It was really striking.

So here's one I did of my husband flying our daughters kite. (Please forgive the quality of the picture. I really do need to get myself a half decent camera).

The original picture turned out pretty good. I think it has a nice balance between ground and sky and my husband and the kite are just a little off center. The kite itself stands out well against the light blue sky but my husband seems a little lost amongst the fence and houses in the background.

AFTER

The black and white background really makes Caleb stand out in the foreground and the kite still stands out well on the light sky. I'm still not 100% happy though.... perhaps if I were to make the colours of the kite a little more vibrant and soften the houses...


Not too shabby. The kite is definitely brighter. Time to call it a night!
