Hannah on the rocks (Patreon)

These two shots of Hannah Cleopatra are shot on different days, but the weather was about the same, dramatic, windy, and slight rain.

But I’ve taken vastly different editing approaches:

While I’m going for drama on both, the sepia tone has a much longer distance to the background, so I felt I could better draw her out by making the background less contrasty, and I tried adding the somewhat heavy sepia toning.

In the other image, she is standing against the back wall, so I went for hard contrast and picked out all possible contrast in the sky to let that play a part.

Which of the two do you like best?
