Sunandan, you have a marvelous imagination and obviously a grasp of editing technique. For me this is a very interesting image but somewhere it crossed the line of photography and entered the world of graphic art. I would be very interested in seeing what you used as the "original" image and how you took that image to this point. In my opinion the image would work better without the woman. |

Thanks for all the good suggestions, everyone. I can't disagree with any of them. |

This is the selective color image. |

For me you did a bang up job with this image right out of camera. I too like to keep a camera near me at all times just for an opportunity like this. In my opinion, like Art's, the subject is the red lady and umbrella. So I handled that issue with just a balanced crop framed by the walkway and tree. I did add a red reflection in the water and also some contrast. That was one way to skin that cat. The other was to go over the top and desaturate everything but the red. I added more b/w contrast and did some dodging of the low hanging branches. Like I said in the beginning, I think the original, for me, is just as good as your processed image. Well done. |

I think I'm going to have to agree with Gabriele on the exposure issue. To me there is a beautiful flower hidden in some blown out color. I love the imagination of multi-exposure and applaud your courage to go hand-held. You have an image unique to you and it is striking. To my eye it is just a bit bright. There are so many ways to interpret this exposure so I'll add my two-cents worth. All in Lightroom; I started by warming it up slightly and then adding a little highlight. I then added dehaze and reduced contrast before slightly reducing vibrance (-5). I think your image has more of a glow and mine is more painterly. Great use of your camera capturing what your mind's eye imagined. |

I think an important aspect of any image, regardless of style, is that it captures the viewer's eye. I am not yet a mature fan of ICM but this image is an eye catcher. It has complimenting color. It has all the design elements I think an abstract needs to be successful. To my eye it appears the lavender blossoms are being sucked into a green swirling vortex. From what I've seen and studied about ICM, in my opinion you hit a home run with this one. Very nice. |

What fun to go back to older photos you might have forgotten or overlooked. I find that as I mature as a photographer, my tastes change but more importantly, my eye changes and old things look new again. Obviously your photographers eye was mature enough to pick up on this very interesting montage in a store window. (There's a title in there somewhere. LOL) I played with it a bit to my taste. I first added a little exposure and then brought down the highlights and added a heap of dehaze...all in Lightroom. I boosted saturation a bunch and then reduced vibrance a little. All this was to try to isolate each individual part. I then cooled the whole image. Overall, I was intrigued and challenged with your capture. I think you captured a bit of the New York state of mind. I also added a subtle vignette. Very nice. |
