Sepia version of the previous upload...which do you prefer?

Previous portrait done in color....

Still a winning image Linda! Adds a sense of age to it though.

Linda, there's a dramatic change going from the color to this Sepia version. Both are superb. Personally, though, I like the color version better. There just seems to be so much color, and you'd never guess that by looking at the Sepia version. I also like the color change that takes place in the facial hair, in the color version. But that's just a matter of taste. This is an outstanding photo.

Really classic style with the sepia tones. I like better this version. The tones seem more well balanced in this version. Smoother to the eye than the color version more contrasting.

I do love this version, Linda. Has a timeless look to it. Could have been taken this week or 80 years ago. Very nice!!

With a slight levels change for the highlights I am torn between this and the color version

Thank you Carsten, I can see the difference...

My vote's in for the sepia version, it has that wonderful "old time" feel to it and is a very classic looking portraiture style. Very interesting looking fellow, has a worldly look to him and maybe a little pensive. I also think Carsten's adjustment helped with the exposure. Good on ya girl.

as a very nice pleasing softer look that seems more effective to me. but htat is just my opinion! A classic style that fits this subject well!

nice job!

cheers
