30 Days of Creativity: Pineapple

For this photo I decided to have a little fun with Photoshop.

The original photo was shot in color. Then I made a copy of it in black and white with medium-high contrast.

Then in Photoshop, I used one layer for the color photo, and another layer for the black and white which was the bottom layer.

I set the color layer to pinlight at 70 percent opacity, which allowed the black and white to add more dimension and form to the photo.

There are a lot of little nuances that an ordinary person wouldn't notice, but it's those little things that can make a photo really interesting.
