Colours into tones 1

Take and image which contains at least two strong contrasting colours:



and create two opposite versions in black and white - one with the first colour (blue) lightened and the contrasting colour (red) darkened, and the other the same in reverse.

Black and white - no treatment:


Black and white - red darkened/blue lightened:


Black and white - red lightened/blue darkened:


Well this was a pain to do, it took me a while to work out, but the last version with the red lightened and blue darkened is more dramatic - it's improved the contrast behind the silhouette!
