first selective coloring

[shingfan]

what do you guys think? does the layer work okay?......should i increase the saturation...or decrease it?.....i decrease the saturation about 10-20% to blend better with the black & white....or i should saturate to stand out the flowers?.....please comment...and thanks (feel free to edit if you like and post the modified version...pls also post your post process as well..)

Like I posted in the other thread...try bringing the opacity down on the color layer...see what you think of that..this shows how it just changes it slightly:

These aren't the best examples..but you can see how the bottom pics are a tad softer

o right...opacity.....how can i forget that?....lol...

 

[shingfan]

50% opacity......is this better?

I like it. It's easier on the eyes. Beautiful shot.

for pure comparisons sake can we see one with the saturation back up to 100%?

yes.....i guess i should post up the different settings to see which one gets the most attention (along with the original)....hehe....will do that tonight
