The yellows matches the colour of the paint on the post near the man. It is not overexposed too much as I can see from here. The other colours reddish and browns as such adds to this environmental shot. My only problem was the dog which was cut off a little, but it shows his concentration on what his master was doing. Well done. I'd give this a 4.5 star out of 5 because of the cropped part of the dog.

Thank you for your kind review and suggestion. :) I have updated the image in the description where i have used the original frame (jar and dog not cropped) How about 5/5 now ? :D :P haha

OK...5/5 for the b/W version though I still think the original one is much better for the drama you had in mind and created. When you changed the lighting it is as if the drama you wanted lost its merits to a point. I still like the original shot even with the cropped dog.

Hi,

I agree with IzziEk and I prefer the first, the colored, version. The yellow plastic doesn't disturb me at all. Actually, I think I don't like so "aseptic" images.
And I think the lighter version is too light and reduces the original effect. The cropping on the jar on his hand may be a problem, but the photo isn't ruined because of that.
But it's only my way of seeing things.
