I don’t usually convert my pictures, but this one felt like the action might benefit from being reduced to black & white.
Bright blue versus dark blue was begging me play with the levels. Photoshop is my jam, so I’m not simply taking down the saturation to 0%.
The shadows left on some of these girls struck me as unflattering, so I recropped to keep the focus on the ball.
In the end, I think the original color version maintains the drama better than my black and white. Even if I keep working the contrast, it won’t improve the composition. The bright colors might have been most of the drama.
