    Big Bald Man @ Russian Rooms

    I dislike selective colouring (except when I do it!)
    From a recent trip.

    nicely seen and a good shot. I'd be tempted to correct the peripheral lens distortion and maybe crop the half windows on the right and go for just the four. I think it would work nicely as plain mono, too. Nice.

    Agree with the four window square crop, but I really like the selective color effect, that adds to the image here by making a part of the image stand out so much more than if it was B&W

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Tom I have never been real big on selective coloring. But this works. I would like to see an edit with just a little color in the wall. Composition is perfect.

    Re: Big Bald Man @ Russian Rooms

    Thank you all very much for taking the time.
    Cropping the windows as suggested would end up with a square picture, which in this case I would not like. But I understand where you are coming from.
    Greg, this is probably my first and last effort with selective colouring. I think I dislike it almost as much as I dislike HDR.
