B/W with some colour

[rammy]

Hi all,

Do you think the colour seperation in the flags, against the B/W background works?

To me, it probably is the best subject to try this technique out on. Do you think I should reduce brightness a little?

Thanks for any comments.

What you have done is technically good, but I'm not so convinced about the its artistic merits in this case. I have a feeling the photo would look better in plain b&w.

Thanks. Yeah, I did have it in BW originally but thought that it wasn't intuitive enough to highlight it as the Berlin parliament building. The flags in BW look like other countries flags that have that 3 stripe colour thing going on.

I really wanted the impact of the German flags to stand out. They have put so many around that buidling :)

Rammy, I see your vision here. Maybe back the saturation on the flags off to a point where the color is "just distinguishable"? For what it's worth...
