This must be horse week on Light Cafe!

My niece is in something called Pony Club. This is a team competition with various events. In their first year, her team made it to the Zone Finals (which I guess is a great achievement, but what do I know).

This is my favourite shot of my niece from last week's event. I've been playing with the processing, and plan on having it printed on stretched canvas.



I have two monitors on my desk here at work. It looks fine on the left screen, but too green on the other. Hopefully the left screen is closer to correct! (I gotta bring my screen calibrator in to work)

Original colour version is here if you're interested.

I like the processing but it does have a slight green tinge. I might have chosen something nearer beige perhaps - not exactly sepia but something suggesting age, warmth and dust ... hope that sounds OK; it sounded OK in my head as I thought it

A nice photo. The process on this one works well. I agree with Paul that it is slightly green, maybe you can still correct that.
The colour version is also nice but if you will print it in canvas I think the processed version will look splendid.

Very nice shot she looks like she is having the time of her life. My monitor must be set similar to yours Mike I don't see a green cast.

I've just been sampling the image in Photoshop with the eyedropper and it's NOT green. Red and green are mostly about equal - very slight bias to red in fact - and the blue is lower, as expected. I really should get a monitor calibrator

I'm back at home, and looking at it again. On this calibrated screen, it's back to what I expect and want.

Nicely done Mike. Most aged shots just don't feel right because they just look like a modern digital image that's been processed, but this has a very good feel (and no strong colour cast on this screen either). Plus a well timed and framed shot that captures the moment well, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you

I have two monitors at work as well. One shows a green tint as you saw and the other it's a sepia tone.

I think the vignette-style processing around her head is a little too much for me and looks as though it's washing her helmet out a bit, is there any more headroom to the image? Maybe it's just cos it's a light coloured helmet with not much contrast to the background?

Superb capture all the same, I can see why you want to put it on canvas, it's lovely.

Thanks Jamie. The helmet is 4 colours, and the portion that is bleeding into the sky is a light yellow against a white sky, so there's very little contrast there.

The canvas arrived a few days ago, and I'm very happy with how it came out. I actually had 4 printed (1 for each of my sisters, and 1 for my parents, plus mine). If you want some nice quality canvas prints at reasonable prices, I highly recommend http://www.giclee-factory.com. They're in Quebec City, so prices are in Canadian dollars.
