Nice to have you on board, mate. I like what you've done with your signature across the top to look like graffiti - works well. Can't decide if the selective colour works though as I feel it makes the basketball player the center of attention rather than yourself.


(still a naughty monkey!)

The entry is about "shoot" and so I wanted the basketball player the focus point
:)
 
Okay, that makes sense now. I'm a little slow at this time of the morning. ;)
 
Welcome to the "52s"! :wave:

It's a great idea and the selective colouring works well here. I would just like to see a little more contrast in the standing figure (?you) to make it stand out more from the background. It also looks slightly soft. May just be my monitor, though.

:thumbs:
 
Hello
and thanks for your comments I will have another look at it tonight :)
thanks
 
Welcome aboard Karl, it's an interesting shot, and the colour pop works well... I think I have to agree with Chris on this one, and think it would probably be more on theme with just the wall art, sorry Karl no offence meant :D...
 
Thanks for the comments :)
no offence taken it's all a learning curve
I need to learn from you guys :)
 
:wave: Karl and welcome to the 52.

I like this one a lot too :thumbs:
A few times through this year's 52 I've said that I don't particularly like selective colour, but there have been a few shots that have changed my mind.

This one has done more than change my mind. In this particular instance I think the selective colour is absolutely spot on. The image would have nowhere near as much impact either in colour or straight B&W.

Tracer has already picked up on my one niggle with the shot. I feel like you're disappearing into the wall a bit. I don't know if more contrast is the answer, but I'd like to see a bit more distinction somehow :shrug:
 
Welcome to the 52.
I like this shot and think the selective colour works well.
Look forward to see the up and coming weeks
 
Welcome (belatedly!) aboard... Is there more to come?

Ian.
 
I think Karl's got the record as the shortest participation in a 52!
