Place: WB Assignment
Technique
I took this picture with the face in the lower left being the focus. To get that, I had to expose it in a way that washed out the sky in the picture. I used the selection tool in photoshop to select the wall that the face is on and turn that black and white while keeping the rest of the photo in color. I adjusted exposure and contrast to further wash out the sky, and turned the vibrance down so that the color didn't take away from the subject.
Reflection
I really like how this photo turned out. If I were to go back and redo anything, I think I would've liked to get more of the sign directly above the face that says "smooth" in the picture, because I think that that really fits the expression on the face. I was surprised that this became one of my favorites from this shoot, mostly because I just kind of stumbled upon it and didn't put nearly as much effort into the shot as some of my other ones.
