    Two tones

    Chaps, I don't know if this works but I have been playing with dual toning and frames.

    Let rip and give me your opinions on this.

    Re: Two tones

    I don't think green and brown are complementary colors.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Yeah, sorry, but those two colors aren't working for me. I do give you points for creativity and uniqueness though.

    Re: Two tones

    Hey I like the idea but i agree with the rest about the particular colours chosen here. hmmm. MB was on to something when he said those aren't complimentary colours. Try using complimentary or analogous or colours that share something on the colour wheel. I think the complimentary to that green is dark red leaning towards purple.

    Nice idea though!

    Re: Two tones

    I was trying to get a sense of atagonisation between the sky and the land.

    I will try another edit later, to see if I can come up with something better.

    In the mean time this is the original with no editing.

    Re: Two tones

    Roger I like the original. Boost the contrast and saturation and try some how to make the house pop more.

    Hi Greg,

    Guess you won't like this either. I'll work on the original later.

    Re: Two tones

    Everybody has a different opinion as usual. I vote for the original but edited. I think that gives it a pop and i'm sure it look 10 times better at a bigger size.
