Photoshop editing

This is an example of some of the editing I have done to one of my images. On some pictures such as this one I have been experimenting with the tone of the image in order to make the image stand out or take a more back ground effect. I have made this image black and white so not to distract from  the writing of the contents page yet I have added a drop shadow so it does not become insignificant and still emphasises the artist featured. drop shadow I have used on text is usually to make titles stand out to readers or to allow me to use varying colours which oriental pop commonly use and not have the colours conflict.
