Schoolyard Abstract, Color
This is the compantion shot to the B&W Schoolyard Abstract. Compare the tones: note how only the one section of the building gives color. I like this one in that it mimics a selectively-colored view - but it isn't. Full color here.
Why not take a closer look?
Looking closer, you'll see grain. It's B&W grain (from Silver Efex Pro), but only used to create a sharpening layer. Then the B&W layer was removed, leaving the high-structure sharpness and some grain, but with full color information.
This is a detail shot from this same shot.
