Monomad: Beach Girl

This is a shot of a small child playing on a beach at low tide. I took these photos with my Poco X3 Pro phone camera and edited them in Lightroom. The black-and-white color scheme offers classic lighting and an emotional feel to the frame.

I slightly reduced the highlights to restore detail in the bright areas of the image. I didn't make the vignette too intense, as it would have lost its naturalness. I also kept the shadows open to avoid overly dark areas around the feet or other areas.

So, I've optimized these shots to the best of my ability. To perfect these edited and captured photos, I welcome feedback and suggestions from my senior colleagues in the black-and-white community.
