Problem
The banner photo in scss/ui.scss (line 92) has:
filter: grayscale(100%);
opacity: 0.7;
Full desaturation + reduced opacity removes personality from the portfolio — it makes the photo look ghostly and impersonal, which is counterproductive for a personal brand.
Suggested Fix
Soften the effect to retain the moody aesthetic without losing the human element:
filter: grayscale(30%);
opacity: 0.9;
Optionally, on hover, animate to full color:
&:hover {
filter: grayscale(0%);
opacity: 1;
}
