Colours into tones 2.

Exercise: Colours into tones 2.

The scene is of abandoned farm machinery in long grass.  My aim was to highlight the poor and rusty state of the machinery by darkening it by dropping the red and orange sliders and making the grass paler by use of the green and yellow sliders. The sky has been darkened by use of the blue slider.

First the default b/w image.

Next my version

The increase in contrast has added dramatic effect to the image.  The machinery looks rustier and the grass looks more like straw.  The darkening of the sky also adds to the gloom.
