It's all about how much light is captured. These series of photos is my attempt at getting my pictures to appear bleak and moody.
At the end of the day, it is our own interpretation that matters when we look at anything that we perceive to be nice. I kinda like these pictures but they don't do it for my wife.
The hard part is being consistent throughout your selection. What I do here is just play around with saturation, hue, sharpness and exposure. No touch-ups done.
No touch-ups? What I mean is that I don't lose someone's navel by airbrushing. Tweaks were done on the way light is captured.
