Helpful Posts: My co workers were watching me process my images of the foxes in my woodpile Foxes in the Woodpile and wanted to see how it would look in black and white. They were disappointed in the initial attempt as the tones of the foxes were too close to the wood to really stand out.
I did a bit of fiddling to bring them out; still not impressive to them. Then I said " Well: there is a technique called selective colourization, but I really think it can be a bit garish and is not really my thing". They wanted me to demonstrate as my explanation of how it looks fell short of illuminating their understanding. So I decided to show them with every intention of deleting the colourized version. They loved it, so much so that I was forced to keep it then show it to every Tom,Dick and Harry who came in.
To add insult to my artistic sensitivity, I was asked by several to share it so they could use it as a screen saver. No one has ever asked this before.
Is there hope for my soul now that I have done selective colourization?

Trevor, I am not a big fan of the selective colorization (I have tried it a few of my images with mixed results). In this case, it works quit well. You have a winner.

Don't tell them about HDR processing then, you'll have to redo your entire catalogue.
Nicely selective coloring, I like to play with it ever so often myself.

I like this image A LOT! I think it really helps when you start out with a strong image, which this is.

Trevor 'Old Dogs' can learn new tricks...
I'm not a great fan of selective colourisation either, but there is a time and a subject when it does what is needed.
I can't talk about your soul, mine's been in hock for years.... but this is a rather attractive image imo!

Re: Foxes; processed in a technique against my better judgement.
As I feared. I feel the urge to process images of waifs and puppies to have large teary eyes. I currently mount my images on canvas, surely I can get them done on velvet? Originally Posted by Donald

Re: Foxes; processed in a technique against my better judgement.
Trevor I have always thought of you as an intelligent man and as such would have known there was no turning back. It is good to see that you are using this forum to help you with your emotional adjustment.
Nice work.
P.S. I do not think it would be wise to attempt to discuss the moral implications.
