I love the lighting and composition. The black and white treatment is perfect for this image.

A classic shot done very well. The composition is strong, and the black and white treatment keeps the visuals simple and powerful.

Roy’s Features:

Jane has a nice faded look in this shot by raising up the black point giving it a nice aged and softer feel.

“She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live” - Annie Dillard - - - - Decided to try a matte effect for this week’s photo challenge “Black point” - in the Lightroom Tone Curve panel, I raised the shadows up a bit by pulling the leftmost point on the curve upwards - giving a muted “matte” look to the blacks and a vintage look to the photo - - - - #prtv_blackpoint #prtv #librarylife #publiclibrary #curlupwithagoodbook #bookworm #mattephotography #agoodbook #marinciviccenter #lovetoread #cameramama #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #our_everyday_moments #momtogs #letthembelittle #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #letthekids #dearphotographer #livethelittlethings #MagicofChildhood #enchantedchildhood #thesincerestoryteller #celebrate_childhood #mom_hub #honestlyparents #ourcandidlife #kidsforreal #tonecurve

It’s a nice dark shot and by lowering the black point you see a lot of the nice film grain as well.

Something a bit different with this creative edit, pushing it darker really made the colorful bits pop

This was a photo I shot many years ago in Osaka Japan🇯🇵 This unique lion’s head Shrine is called “Nambayasaka Shrine” is a great place for photo shoot (日本大阪難波八阪神社)⛩ ⛩ ⛩ #shrine #osaka #japan #japan_night_view #prtv_blackpoint #prtv #best_photogram #worldbestgram #world_captures #thedarkpr0ject #worldframeclub #ig_shotz_magic #worldtravelpics #got_greatshots #traveljapan #500px #神社 #大阪 #難波八阪神社 #狛犬 #日本
