Playing with cuts without color

By @tijntje1/21/2020photography

I have been playing with the catshots I took yesterday. Many of you guys already know I am quite the monomad sucker making a lot of my shots less colorful. This "study" post heled me getting better at the tools making my shots mono. Hope you guys like them.
So for this post I made cutouts of the shots and played with some different b&w techniques, a bit splashing combined with some sepia tones topping it of with some more artistic tryouts.
My favorite is the one I start the post with, majestic Micio I named the original shot and I must say I think this edit underlines that name. Also the splash versions have become better than I thought when I was working on them.
