1. These are both excellent images, my dear Gato!

I don't know how you got the selective color accomplished, but it sure looks good to my eye.

Beautiful work!

3. thanks, peggy...

it's actually quite easy if you know how to use photoshop adjustment layers.

5. I've heard about layers, but that's a more advanced technique than I can use. n/t

7. Really good! One subtle and the other kinda' like in yer face!

Nicely done and great interpretation.

So many of us photographers are confined by the inherent literal interpretation of what lies before the lens. We now have the same freedom of expression that any of the touchstones in other media have used for a millennia.

A paraphrase of Picasso (I think) when answering a 'challenge' to his style, "I like my art more realistic" as he shows a photo of his wife to the artist. "Really? She's so small and flat . . ."
