Very dream-like look to this sepia-toned lake.
Sometimes sepia can be an overwhelming tone, so I like to use it in combination with Black & White whenever it’s fitting. The mallard duck above is highlighted by the use of sepia selective-coloring.
These pond reflections don’t seem to mind being turned brown.
This tulip still maintains its elegance with an earthy tinge.
Photos are beautiful.

Thank-you, Suzanne. I rarely use sepia and discovered that its tonal change doesn’t suit all photos and needs to be used with a delicate hand. 🙂

Yes, I agree with you. It is an effect that looks best used delicately. 🙂

Thank-you, Bren. It took me in a different direction that I’m not too familiar with. I tend to do more B & W. Interesting learning curve. 🙂
