good point. i guess it deviates from the "big city" skyline-themed shots.

despite the above above-i like the perspective of this shot-well done!

there's a nice vibes going out this shot. I like the ethereal view of one building compared to the other.

I really like this shot. It does exactly what you said, it deviates from the conventional skyline type shot with a unique perspective.

uhuhhu
I love that, I'd like to see it B&W, but the framing is really great !

I'm the first and I think not the last to say
Great photo, I like the "bud flower" and of course the drop water.Well done Laurie

I actually uploaded the wrong version of this shot. I had a "cleaner" one but didn't notice that the wrong one was up until a little while ago.

I had thought about cropping out the bud, but ultimately liked the bud being included. I'm glad you agreed. Thanks.

It is very beautiful. The flower looks a bit tired, but I think, thats what you want us to see. Or?

Blumie...thank you. Yes it is tired. It was taken immediately following a day of heavy rain and the flower was soggy and heavy with water. It is a white hibiscus.

Lovely flower Laurie! I like both versions : )

Very effective cutout but you need to cutout the feet on the right ;

If the purpose of adding color is to focus the viewer....then I find my eye being caught by the jacket... But I don't think this is the focus of the photograph, neither is it the focus of the child....

I have to agree - I don't think I care for the selective color. For one I think its use is a bit too trendy and for two, I think the child's expression is much more important in the image. I think if you were to make this an all B&W image, and use the B&W color filters in PS or Picasa you could turn the sweatshirt black, which cause a much greater emphasis to be placed on the child's smooth and white face. The over all impact will be much great. You might look at darkening the background just to make it disappear a bit more. Finally, the foot on the right has to be cropped or cloned out - its is too distracting.

If this was practice to use selective coloring, this is a fantastic job - you could still work with the surrounding contrast to enhance the picture. Otherwise as an all-around photo, I don't have much to add, agreeing with the prev. comments. Thanks for sharing!

great processing-well done

As u can see , I'm big fan of "VINTAGE PROCESSING" and this is quite good.Well done Daniel

It could be in "RUST" Topic as well, well done ,I like the colors

Good catch in perfect timing before "The touch down", well done

good detail

Great photo, good work!

Nice one, I like the differents tones of "green" and ur pic is unusual,well done ;)

Thanks for your comments !

Nice processing, I really like the texture of the background. You have a very distinctive processing technique that I always recognize. Good Work!

Many thanks for comments Andrew ;)
Cheers.Eric

i agree, your processing is really good. it adds nice texture to your shots. this photo, in particular, is very nice and elegantly warmed by the processing.

great processing again on this one!

Many thanks wvallen and Paul for comments, I'm so glad u like :))
Cheers.Eric

I like it, has a "Blade Runner" feel. The one thing I would like to see more of is some traffic headlight blurs and maybe a little more focus on the 2 prominent building on the right foreground.

I think this one is excellent. It really shows "Big City" it seems to go on forever.

Very good processing it's like "Sin City" in "Big City",or a french movie "Renaissance"
Well done

Oh no! I do not have enough english words for this. In German, the Viennise way, I would say: "Bist du deppart!" which would be translated into "Are you crazy!" but it does not mean the same. I is a scream that means, I am so impressed, so amazed about what I see. If any of my postings in this topic would win over this posting, I would feel ashamed.

great use of B&W here. furthermore, your use of frame is perfect. i really like this one.

Brilliant. Well Done!!

thank you :)

Cool! What is it ?

hard to describe :)
