Colored B/W Shot...comments?

[redbutt]

Ran my B/W action, then adjusted curves to get a really good contrast, masked and hand colored.

I like it as it is.

Nice Compositin

I'd like to see a more gentle tonal graduation in the coloured areas though.

Cheers,

I would like to see a little softer of a curve.. a lot of the image gets lost

i think you are on the right track though

the image looks too over exposed

I really like the composition.
It's overexposed, but perfect for the mood.
nice shot.

I like it. Very nice. The over exposure does it good. It just as easily
could have been less exposed and still would have worked. Why? I think
because the kid is in a beautiful pose.
