First time for me at 20inspirations. This was I think, the hardest 20in20 I ever did. But I loved it, I think it really helped me work more on the crop, which I know can seem paradoxical because a lot of those crop are center-crops, but I was more used to center-crop and neg space (and there are two of them in the post), and here I feel I worked more with the cap and the original colors. I realized that B&W wan't my friend, I feel like there always are two much/not enough contrast, and I can't seem to find the right one. Anyway, I'm pretty happy about #17, because for once I thought while doing it that I had the right balance between black and white. Not sure about the other ones. Eventually, I feel like I worked a lot more on the coloring too, trying to have a "natural" coloring who doesn't look like I didn't work on the cap ;p And it made me realize that I need to lay off a bit on the "vibrance" layer and the usual textures on soft light. I feel like this challenge really helped me, so that's great.
(I'm actually not used to talking about my icons, so if it seems a bit "sketchy", you know why :) )
