Mmmm, I'm not sure I like the selective colouring here

I think they all need to be in colour against a black background?

Oh number one has some stray colour streaks on the potato!

Noticed the stray colour after I posted, thought I would get away with it, I should have know better- it's a fair cop Marsha.

Liking the selective colour veg, and number 2 for me.

The goblin · 15-02-2012, 07:26

you can't get away with anything here;-)

The_Oakster · 15-02-2012, 09:57

I prefer the veg shots, specifically the third one, as I'm not keen on the selective colour of the radish (if they are radish

)

I wonder if the third one needs to be 'cropped' tighter as the carrot isnt cropped but the parsnip is. It may balance it out a bit more?

Cheers Ben, number 1 and 2 for me in the veg.
i like selective colour, and only found out how to do it yesterday using PSE 10, no stopping me now with SC..

michael23 · 15-02-2012, 21:01

Your sc veg got me doing it too! Never done it with veg until now and it certainly does work quite well! Have you seen the selective colour thread in the creative section?

The goblin · 15-02-2012, 21:15

Oooo I like that thread!

Yes Michael I have and there are some great photos in the thread.

Hi mate,

I think I prefer the first of your root shots, the edited version. Lol.

Nice one

Matt

Great Pic
There is some of these near Phillips Park (Big place I know) and was wondering what they are used for, if you know?

Manc Man · 16-02-2012, 20:26 **Thread Starter**

The river medlock runs at the rear of Phillips park, it's got about 3 sewer that overflow in to it. In this photo each man has gas detector, escape set and a rescue team on site with full BA. Some people go down sewer and put themselves at risk.

The edited brook shot for me - looks real great, nice description and take on the theme Darren

That's my next one to have printed, never printed photos before, but since getting a DSLR and joining this forum I have a large number printed.

cazagee · 16-02-2012, 21:24

Hi Darren,

Two great ideas for this week's theme, my fav has to be the water shot, I like the edited version, the icicles stand out alot more. Like this one alot actually. Well done

Carol

Nice idea but I think it would look better in black on white. The colours don't look in harmony.

I will try and invert them over the weekend.

The goblin · 18-02-2012, 21:38

very clever idea, but I agree with Barbara about converting to B&W. Nice detail though, you've even caught the hairs on your arms (assuming they're yours)

gramps · 18-02-2012, 21:42

Not quite what I expected for the theme

I think they work but will be interested to see the B&W versions.

*Sarah* · 18-02-2012, 21:52

A good take on the theme and certainly "out of the box"! I also would like to see in B&W! Well done!

Ajophotog · 18-02-2012, 21:56

Definitely made by hands so you can't argue that fact

quick thinking Darren

michael23 · 18-02-2012, 23:00

Great bit of thinking. Like the idea, another vote for b+w.

MWHCVT · 18-02-2012, 23:54

Cheers Matt, been having some fun with these themes. The waterfall shot I was lucky to have posted on twitter by the environment agency.

sturisoma · 19-02-2012, 12:41

good interpretation, but I'd like to see the shadows in black tbh
