Hey John,
isn't this a repost? Or did someone else shoot that bike too?
Anyhow it doesn't matter, the similar colours implicate that the bike will be cleaned up by the truck....or not.
But that's the story I see here:)
Grtz,
Alain

Your selective colouring makes the main objects really stand out. You are very good with your program changing the sky. I have tried that a couple of times nut, as yet have not been satisfied with the results. I'll keep at it when I have time. This is a very creative and dramatic image. I think a lot of people oule have just passed by this scene and not seen the photo opportunity that it presented. I'm glad you did.

thanks a lot dear Mary for your kind comment...hmmmm....have you try that with Corel Photo Paint? It's easier....much easier than Photoshop, masks works better, ok, needs some time and I don't use auto masks, but the result is pretty good and the job...just I use zoom on the photo and paint mask tool...and that's all...

Thanks for the sugesstion, John. I don't have Core Photo Paint. The main one I have is Photoshop 7. In any case, I don't have much time lately to experiment with pictures. Someplace, I have a PS manual, but just have not had time to read through it and try things out.

Love the shot John and the processing you did with this. The photograph also leaves one wondering what happened here? The truck in the background really pulls the shot together. Well Done my friend.

thanks a lot Peter for your kind comment...I was also a bit lucky there...first of all because I see that (being into my car...and driving) and secondly because these objects have the same rusty - yellow colors...

I believe I liked this the first time but I like the selective coloring even better. And apparently the judges did,too. Congratulations on the Staff Choice award!!
Best wishes to you as always,
Dave

thanks a lot Dave for your kind comment...
I was lucky as the real colors of bike, truck and of course rusty fence was the same...so easy job to do it as a composition...
...after that I really was surprised to see that staff's choice on a photo of mine...:-)

Very very cool photo John! Again just outstanding! It feels so "harsh" the mood, ruggid, violent yet somehow calm as well.
Thanks for sharing!
