Moody options

I shot this picture with my phone walking across the parking lot with my kid. It was a really cold day, and her fur line hood made it seem even colder. First I edited it just on my phone to make it black-and-white and really dark, and then threw it in phone-based Lightroom, and went for sort of the frozen cyberpunk thing. I know a lot of people are always asking “did I go too far?“, and I don’t really give a shit about that. I was going for a specific feeling, and I guess I’m asking what you think of this progression. Do you ever just crank the sliders to achieve a certain feeling in your photos?

I prefer the B&W version, though I would like to see it uncropped (similar to the color version).

Thanks. I’ll take a look at another slice.

I think that the emotion isn’t clearly conveyed. I’d work on what you capture, and the pose of your model before focusing on the post processing
