  1. When I was in the middle of those Barracudas at Sipadan the flash did not had the time to recharge and everything got the blues. I tried some Photoshop on the original. Do you prefer the left or the right version ?

     

    Below you find on the left the PS-ed version and on the right the original. They ware +1m length !

    I like the PS-ed version.

  3. how about going a little further with the PS and making it completely black and white?

  4. I second the vote for black and white. Don't just convert from color to grayscale. Try desaturating.

  5. I think B&W is the best approach. I really don't like photos with grey-blue or purpley water colour. If you didn't capture any red then I think black and white is best.

     

    Plus black and white really suits barracudas!

  6. Thank you all for your comments.

     

    I agree, when there is no red it's probably better to go straight for B&W instead of trying to fix the color in PS.

    When you convert to B/W try using the channel mixer. Here is tutorial I wrote on how to do it. It is a far better way than just desaturating as it give you far more control
