More colour variations at Shugborough

I tried more of my colour variations on images I shot at Shugborough last week. It was interesting in that a couple of the photos I tried them on just didn’t work – you may say all of them don’t work but it is a style I am developing. So here is this post’s set:

This is the original – I like the spot of colour in the centre
This is sepia toned. With hindsight I think it may have benefited from a little vignetting.
This is what I call a copper wash…
This is the first vintage colour effect with subdued green in the grass and reeds (but not the trees!)
This is the second vintage colour with most of the tones subdued but with higher contrast
This 3rd vintage colour appears to be part way between the original and the first vintage colour

As I have said before, this is a matter of personal preference – there is no wrong or right about it.
