I was hanging out with some musicians this weekend and was taken with this blue guitar leaned up against a tree. The afternoon light was a little too harsh and there were some nasty reflections on the face of the guitar so I knew I had to simplify it somehow. I liked the idea of a monochrome treatment that still preserved the blue of the guitar so I took it into Topaz Black and white effects where the tea green fall off preset gave me just the look I wanted. I then added back a little saturation in Photoshop to bring out the blue a little more.
