I like this w&b and color composition idea. Well done.

This is taken through a door of a mausoleum.

I like how you framed the face. The colors are great as well.

Thanks Jason:)

the frame way is so amazing, I like it a lot

I really like this shot-the POV and the lighting especially-good one!

Thank you Paul:)

radio city music hall, perfect angle, the only thing that I would remove from this photo is the glow effect, about all the rest, I think that is one of the better photos of this topic.

I have only one thing that I don't see at all, the lens flare, I think that it's so distracting, but the hole image, the concept i mean, it's so good.
I like the idea so much.

The colours and lines are just fantastic! Beautifully done.

stylen!

Excellent shot. The lines, color and detail work well.

Magic and well done -- beautiful and strange as a Bee Gees cover ;-))

Thank you:) I was debating on this one or one just in hi-key and left in color. I guess I'll upload that one so you can see the difference.

Very nice work.

Great work Jo - I think I like this one just a tad bit more than the other one. This one has a sense of drama and more sensuality to me. The term "superstar" fits how I feel this photo is portrayed!

Thanks Ron & Sher....
Sher, that's exactly why I think I prefer this one. Though it seems harsher, there is a more sensual appeal to it.

I think the 'sensual appeal' is largely to do with the extra focus on the lips, and all that wild hair! It is a great image - I wish I had one of me as interesting as that! Keep playing with PS...great things come from it.

the red i think is so much saturated, and i would preferred the sky in B&W too, not only the red in the chimney, is even on the faces of the people and it seems so unreal, but i like the overall effect.

Lovely work with selective saturation Jo. Somehow the entirety of the photo is too "busy" for me. The sky or the buildings would have made a great photo all by themselves. All together my eye wanders from grass, to buildings, to sky, to brilliant yellows and never is quite sure where to settle.

An amazing looking place - I presume it's by the sea with some pleasant views in the other direction?
Overall a startling effect - the yellow (umbrellas) drags the eye into the frame from the right, the blue (sky) is glimpsed, the buildings with the balconies momentarily catch the imagination 'what's the view like?', the dabs of red (chimney, people) distract - why red, why these objects, what's the relationship?
The questions begin. What's the significance of the yellow? How do you envisage this photograph being used? Is photography just about aesthetics?
But, look at the sky, those clouds, what a wonderful day. Wouldn't it be lovely to be just sitting outside looking into the distance.

I agree it seems very hard for me to focus on one thing. My eyes are pulled all over the place. A great shot nonetheless. The clouds are awesome!

the whole pic is a little bit turbulent.
But: nice scene, good processing!

Great concept, and a very unique shot! I like the fact that the hands lack detail-like Andrew, i am not sure about the rings (but i guess thats what makes it Duo!)
Awesome work!

Having seen them both, I think I like this one more just to throw in a vote. Great job. Very creepy feel to the shot.

this is so much better than the other, but i think the same than before, better without the jewels

Thanks everyone. Your critiques are much appreciated:)

Interesting effect but, I feel, it is overdone. The rings and fingernails do not bled at all with the unnatural looking fingers. MB if the color elements were oversaturated they would mesh better with the greyscale fingers.

the best kind of solitude...great capture!

Excellent shot! Little bit of contrast would be good.

Fit so well with the topics!!
Nice colors.

awesome shot of a big city-great PP on this one!

Thanks Paul. This was taken from the top of the World Trade Center in August of 2001. There was a restaurant on the top floor called Windows of the World that used to spin around.

lovely shot, i like the way the river leads your eye through the photography. the treatment is nostalgic, it's great!

what i meant was photograph no 'y'~ sorry!

LOL....Thanks Ron:))

The voting will show if you are right or wrong. Personally, I like it...very Pulp Fiction.

Thanks very much:) How does one vote for an image?

Very nostalgic looking shot. Nice sun; and I think it suits the category.

Thank you:) It was taken at a local classic car show.
