This is great and I wonder if it was actually postwork as PK suggests or was it done by selecting colors to shot right in the digital camera? I suspect the latter given how beautifully clean and defined the two colors are. I really like the perspective on this, the well-defined corner that leads off in two directions.

Excellent!!!

Fantastic bit of colour popping here Bill, really lets this building jump out at you, coolio!

A great capture Bill. I am sure that I have seen it- I have been to pPort Townsend a couple of times, but only drove through, never walked. Thats the advantage when one travels like you and Tara, one sees more.

Oh, this is just delicious, Bill! I absolutely love the selective color - it really brings out the details in this great old building - love it!

awesome work!!!

Great looking building!! I like your postwork as well!

Really beautifully done :)

using selective coloring (making one object in color & the rest in B&W, or vice versa) is always tricky, because it can come-out seeming very contrived. In your work in this area, you always seemed to find the natural connection between the two. The color on the building shows the native Victorian mind at work (in architecture and design) along with the American Victorian architect's native genius for combining elements into a kind of radiating giddy whole. Ie, the constant filling in empty space with appropriate celebrative forms, the punctuating every 'end' with some kind of canopy or mantle or table, the use of color which---prior to this era---would have been considered gaudy, etc. The Victorian architect brought bright contrasts & saturated hues into the field of architecture; and, of course, in the mansion field, they combined numerous seemingly conflicting materials such as tear drop-shingles mixed with rectangular shingles mixed with triangular shingles; using many types of dormer & tower decorations, lots of different pillars & traceries, etc etc. They just knew how to throw it all together & make a beautiful melange. This building has some of that melange...only less, because it's a multi-story building, after all. Still, it stands out beautifully against an almost stormy 19th C brooding b&w, and gives life to the shot & says it will always look this lively, even as a dark storm seems to approach. Fine & sensitive work, Bill, and seamlessly postworked. Most impressive.

nice work

This must have taken ages to do the postwork, a labour of love!!!!! Top class work. 11+

I love the shape and and construction of this awesome building great details show in this.

A super capture of this old style architecture and impressive selective coloring!
