this is me bundled up in my coat outside, looking into a window with blinds. i keep going back to weird images like this. i love images with texture and reflections. i enjoy exploring. i've been looking at this image for several weeks now and tonight, i just tried to express my feelings in here. i loved this image blue...always did. it ended up orange tonight. orange is the color of change. just curious what ya'all think and feel about this...does it provoke any feelings in you? Thanks guys! *hugz*

#2...gold

#3...

#4

#5

i like the blue one the best...maybe just bump up the contrast a bit. and i like #3. i'd love to hear your two cents, please!

It's like having Your Own Software Program,without having a Sotware Program...do I make sense,never mind...no offence :]

What effect were you looking for. IF it's the night effect I think tyhe blue. The contrast is nice in the blue and the third one has a good amount of the red tint. But personally I like the second one. IT's got the red tint AND the blue tint. I think it would make a great photo ablum cover. Expecially if you printed it on some shiny paper then krinkled the paper width wise! Bsteph

Colours do affect moods and atmospheres very much. Combined with the textures and misty shape this makes for a intrigueing image. x files ? Wonder have you tried any other colours or putting several together in one image eg quadrants. Well I like experimentation to see what happens so keep up the good work :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

bsteph, i was looking to express my mood without any effect in mind. this imagae was about change. thanks so much for your input and suggestionss!!! you have a fantastic idea there!!!!!! :) richard, i did try a lot of colors, but because of my mood, i kept coming back to these tones. that's a cool idea about the quadrants! i think i'll try that! i luv experimentation too! i'm falling asleep. for real. exhausted. that tea is gonna make me sleep like a baby! thanks a bunch, guys! brian...what in the world were you talking about? LOL!

Uh is the Brian TEDZ? I think he means the sparkls and or the pane effect. The only time I was able to achieve this effect was with a software filter. Personally I LOOOVE the sparkles. But I can never get them to exist in software. Bsteph

hi Bsteph...yeah...brian is Tedz. oh, he was talking about sparkles? well, that's for telling me, and i'm glad you enjoy them too. i don't know how i got them. that first image has no postwork...it's just what came out of the cam. i don't know how the sparkles came about. but they did, and i like them too! i didn't there was a filter to create this. interesting. Thanks so much again!!!

If I was working on this picture like this. I think I'd start at number #4. In all of them you are dealing with a silhouette that seems to be lighter at the head section. Ithink if that was graded to the same color and tone as the rest of the body... it becomes more dynamic and graphic. Maybe you need to crop out or lose the stick / post over the head too??? Orange for changes? OK!!, well this looks like an airport photo.... I sense a theme emerging... cold?, warm? rugged up or comfort travel?
