This is another shot I’ve sat on for a while. I originally processed it in color a little over 2 years ago, didn’t like it, and then would occasionally look at it to see if I changed my mind. Recently I had the epiphany it could potentially be a great black and white and set to work. I used Silver Efex from the Nik Collection and ran two separate passes on the base color image with 2 different color filters, one for the background and one for Partners. I masked those two together, made levels adjustments, did some dirt cleanup on Walt’s back and was done. Now I’m more than happy to share it.
