2 from the farm, c&c please

Took these two pics today, tell me what you think

I personally really like both of these pics. Took them with my new nifty fifty

#1 - New Beginnings:


#2 - Sparky:

 

Don't see any pictures...

 

Me either.

 

Me three.

 

me neither.

 

Yeah, I failed . And then I went to bed so I didn't notice. I will update original post now - thanks for looking anyway!

 

1. if your gonna do this, make the colored object the focal point. The plant is just distracting.

 

Thanks for your input, I will take that advice on board. This was my first go at selective coloring - I thought it was cool because the picture was supposed to show a contrast between new and old, and the selective coloring was an attempt to highlight the daffodils which would otherwise be lost in the black and white.

 

i just dont think the selective coloring works, at least for me. love the shot otherwise. the second shot is just really sad.
