This is our little athlete of the house - you'll be seeing him a lot this week ;) . Ever since he was 9 months he has been infatuated with balls. This was taken in the summer but thought i'd convert it to b&w.
Both are the same photo - cropped, resized for web and added border. One i applied Noiseware, the other i didn't. Did i need to? Do you see a difference? I think maybe there wasn't any noise at that ISO - could that be why i don't noitce a difference?
They both have a different b&w tint to them (remember, ....i save before writing things down {{ughhhh}}). Both are the same photo, slightly different crop, slightly different b&w conversion.
Manual | ISO100 | SS1/400 | f2.8 | natural light | No Noiseware
What a beautiful shot. I don't see a difference lol.

What a cutie! On screen, there really isn't too much difference, but I think I might like the top one--the one you did not use noiseware on. Maybe it's the different conversion I like better--hard to say! Anyway, they both look great! **I have a soccer player too! :)

I don't see any noise, either. I like the sharpness of the first one best.

I like the top one more...the conversion is perfect. Great composition too. He looks so focused! I never save how I do my conversions either :) I just play until I get what I like---the way I look at it is that every pic may require a different degree of contrast, so I don't worry too much. Look at the difference of your two, the top works great for this photo, where the softer conversion on the bottom photo would probably work really good on a baby photo.

OK, first, he is stinkin' adorable! Love the B&W. #1 is my favorite - I think it looks slightly grainier (if that makes sense) and is more interesting to look at.

Great photo! I can't tell the difference with the noisewear. The only difference I see is that the bottom one is lighter. Either its a great photo.

I really like the top one better too. The bottom one is lighter to me. Great photo though - love the look on his face!

Cool photo, cherry! I prefer the bottom one. Looks great!

This is so cute. Makes me think I should pull out some pictures from this past fall of my dd playing soccer. I love the tighter crop on the first one.

Great capture. Love your conversion.

great action shot! I like the first one best.

Great capture. At that ISO, I can't imagine there would be a grain issue. I can't tell the difference between the two in that regard.

great photo. I really like the difference with the noisewaire. The picture looks amazing I love your composition. I cannot wait to see more TFS

hey, i don't see any noise ;)
i'm loving the bw conversion though i feel it's a bit too tilted (just my taste). the balls around him make it a great composition. good job!
tfs!
