Three colour variations

jusu · 13-10-2007, 17:36

I was walking in the nearby park today and found nice shape. Here is three colour variations of it, which one do you prefer?

I think to submit one of these to my member gallery

I quite like the sepia version, the simplicity of taking away the colour makes you concentrate on the curve of the path.

yep i like the sepia as well, it keeps it looking less cluttered and appreciating the shape

Thank you so much. I have a pretty hard times to decide which one of those last two i will use. I like the B&W because of the mood and Sepia one because it gives nice emphasis to the shape of path

Now, you see I prefer the colour!

The colour helps you keep to the path

I think the sepia one works well. Might be worth trying an "orton" type effect with this, might come out well (search it on here if you missed the billion threads about it

). Good spot for shape though

Thank you all, here is one more version based on ideas i got while reading your comments

JMitchell · 14-10-2007, 22:25

Aha! Yes! Very nice, perhaps keep just a weency bit of colour in the leaves, but I mean a really small amount....not sure...

I do like the B&W, but I think the sepia just has the edge for me

Thank you all for helping me with your comments and point of views

I like the last one--BW and Sepia--Looks good!

dogdots · 15-10-2007, 20:38

How did you do this?

KenCo · 16-10-2007, 10:58

Hope you don't mind me being honest.......The first 3 shots really don't do anything for me, firstly there isn't really any focal point....nothing to keep my attention, the b/w & sepia is a bit dull/dark and as with all loosing detail in the shaded areas. However the b/w-sepia mix really does help me with the shot, allowing me to pick something out to focus on and follow. The shaded areas no longer bother me helped by the sepia pathway and those wonderful curves.

The only thing I could suggest would be to tone down the sepia path (IMO)

Thank you, its done with layermask having two layers, black and white as background layer and sepia as above layer. Layer mask is filled with black and then with white brush i brushed the wooden path until sepia started to be visible again

Thank you for taking your time and your point of view

Thanks for telling me how you did it jusu. I will be trying it. I love sepia. It just gives it a totally different perspective.
