Monochrom - Summer 2022, or triple happiness

I don’t know what the summer of 2022 should be like for the children of Ukraine, who for several months now have not been able to properly relax, walk and have fun. but, probably, it should be triple compensation for every day of the war.

In Soviet times, they liked to scatter the slogan: Let's complete the five-year plan in three years!, Which was a lot of stupidity and deceit, but, the summer of 2022, for children, should become something that should be longer and richer than in previous years.

I wanted to illustrate this idea and the photographs, where you can see my happy son, who enjoys roller skating, helped me in this.

Initially, this monochrome photograph looked like this.

Although, no, it originally looked like this. It was a combination of three vertically arranged photographs, which I did for the first time for myself.

Sometimes when I was editing photos, I would cut out some elements and overlay them on the photos. but, this time I didn't cut anything, I decided to try to turn these segments into a big picture.

But, and as you already understood, I wanted to end up with a monochrome photograph, or a monochrome picture.

Over time, perhaps, I will still work on every pixel of this picture in order to hone my retouching skills, for now, I can’t call myself an ace in this matter, but I’m trying to learn this.
