Hi John ... I think people are mostly absent from my color work because, when using color I'm looking for images that are more graphic in nature - shapes, textures, contrasts - and not so much looking to tell a story. For me, color gets in the way and obscures what I'm trying to do with B&W, or i

Hi Frank, I don't agree with you about my color work often being vivid color against a bland or dark background. At least that's not how I recall the color pics I've posted here. Most do have strong colors, though, and perhaps there tends to be a strong graphic quality to the images, but not man

Frank's right. IMO your colour shots are invariably superb, and this is certainly no exception. That's not to knock your b&w; but your colour shots seldom contain people, and I think that makes them more powerful. Perhaps there's just less to think about. :-) John On Wed, 20 Apr 2005 00:

Thanks for looking and for your comments. I was wondering how the weathered paint and lower saturation might come across. Tried to keep the colors natural, as they were in the scene. Shel > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > http://home.earthlink.net/~my-pics/bf.html > > > >

Hi David ... It might have been nice if the topmost rail of the bench had more texture, but it didn't, so there y'have it. Glad you liked the pic. I have a hard time with color, so the colors generally have to stand out in some manner for me to see them. Strange isn't it - I get some compliments

Excellent use of coloUr The contrast between the weathered & painted timbers is very striking. I also like the textures. The top rail of the bench, to my eye, seem's out of place due to its lack of texture, but it make's the image interesting. Shel, when you use colour you certainly use it to go
