very good work

Again, Mehmet, I am grateful for your kind words.

I like the general feeling of this piece and I think this is a little experimental byway that may be worthy of further experimentation.

Jack, I must admit that this image resulted from a happy accident. Initially, I simply was trying to composite 2 photos I took while visiting the Big Cypress Swamp, one color and the other black & white. When I saw this result, which I really liked, I took another look at the 2 source images, and I noticed that the b&w was larger than the color. I definitely will take your suggestion about further experimentation. Many thanks for helping to point me in the right direction.

Mysterious and even mystical! Pretty much impressive! PDE

Hi Michael,

 

if this happened by accident, you're on to something good! Your photo made me think of ways one could mix B&W and color (other than clichés like 'selective color') and there may be opportunities for an experimentally inclined photographer like yourself to dig into. A pleasantly surprising image! Kind regards, Vincent
