2 men?

Sorry, there would be 2 men in the picture if it weren't for those pesky two women in dresses blocking my view.

I guess they're blocking the airplanes too?

I like the title - very surrealistic - though I think that "Coolio and Florence Henderson looking at a Duck Billed Platypus" would be more accurate.

On to the shot - It would be fine (well exposed, well focused, well composed, etc), except there is one glaring issue that makes it a clunker. It's all in black and white except the dresses are in color.

Dude (or Dudette, as the case may be) - the title shows that you have at least some creativity and a flair for irony. Why waste it on a processing that is soooo horribly derivative. For God's sake man, even freaking Steven Spielberg* used selective coloring. And that was fifteen years ago!

If you are going to grab me with a very clever title, then don't subject me to something so pedestrian as selective color. Show me in the shot/processing the creativity that the title tells me you've got. Make it yours.

Some truths are harsh.
I'll wager the ladies like the selective coloring.
I do like the photo, it has a timeless feel to it.

some folks just can't take a joke. You and your twin, the one with the beard, look darlin.

branches in upper left are distracting

Wrong with this gal.I rarely like SC, and here is does nothing for the photo.

I think that he meant "those ladies", not the universal "the ladies".

But I'm with you - there is no photograph so ugly that it can't be made worse by selective coloring.

Correct you likely are...

I really don't care for SC mostly, but if the subject wants it, I'll do the best I can.
Let's see this photo with-out the coloring.
