Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
I really like this Lorraine, a very different image and not what I was expecting, in the thumbnails it looked like white flowers is a vase. It has a great feel to it and I love the splash of colour. Great work my friend! I am still getting over your Caturday image! ^..^~

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Nice shot Lorraine, and I think this part-color process is becoming your signature style.. yes?

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Like a bouquet of leaves. I like the cool long coat too.

Very clever processing and treatment - most unusual and intriguing.

@dobbino: Nice compliment Rob thanks a lot :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
I think there is a story to this photo. I like the selective coloration; it raises an intriguing question: why do the colors flee from the presence of this one dressed in black? A pre-Halloween visual tale, perhaps?
Thank you Lorraine, for all the prayers, thoughts, and songs for Bella. Regardless of today's diagnosis update, I know God is in charge. I will put my trust in him, and find reason to hope in the prayers of friends and loved ones on her behalf.

@Viewfinder: I didn't want the b&w to detract form the great black coat ;)
I'll think about Bella all day and pray for super good news Vf
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
An excellent picture by an interesting mix... selective color, sunlight, clarity and the long coat of this man, everything works well together! :)

Ana Lúcia from Leiria, Portugal
It is a good photo. But I do not like much of this technique to select a color. Sorry Lorraine.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Il semble y avoir du vent dans les feuilles. Ici les feuilles sont le sujet principal et l'homme a moins d'importance de par le choix du traitement. Pas toujours facile les couleurs selectives... une semaine de ce genre de traitement sur mon blog... n'hesite pas a critiquer.
14 Oct 2008 11:26pm
@akarui: J'aime bien ton commentaire Olivier, c'est particulier, j'admets, mais j'aime vraiment son long manteau noir LOL, j'ai bien håte de voir tes chefs d'oeuvre ;)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Oh, my goodness, I didn't know what I was looking at in the thumbnail ... wonderful selective color ... again!
15 Oct 2008 1:32am
@Judy: I just found this man walking with the long black coat next to that colourful tree completely fascinating, lol thanks so much Judy :)
@magiceye: I appreciate that Magiceye, thank you :)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
he looks so cool he looked a bit like Keanu Reeves from behind:)
15 Oct 2008 2:23am
@tyan: Isn't he cool sweetie? It was the long black coat that did it for me lol
@Reza: Thanks a lot Reza :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
I like your selective coloring process. This has a haunting feel to it with the fellow in the long coat and what could be percieved as a headstone. Although I believe it is a bench.
Ideal image for Halloween time.

@Barbara: I like how you see things, Barb ;) thanks always1
amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Oh wow Lorraine! I just love the selective and gradient colour you have chosen in this image. There is already so much depth here, but this just seems to bring it out all the more, giving it such a deep mood. Wonderful!

@bluechameleon: Wow, thanks for the wonderful comment Queen Blue Mood ;)
laughingwolf from Canada
