Marnie, I like the Bold version best of the B&Ws. ;-)
With the risk of adding to confusion, I think the colour shot can have even more punch if you play a little with a hue/saturation layer. Try tweaking each of the colours separately. To _really_ bring out the blue in the sky, you could increase saturation in the blues and tweak the hue of the cyans towards blue. Adding some yellow and a slight bit of red could be nice too. If you don't have the sky in a separate layer in the colour version, be careful about the grass in the foreground. There is of course a risk of "cartoonizing" as Wheatfield calls it. It's a nice shot to start with, and it holds potential for many different expressions. It depends on what _you_ want with it! jostein 2007/6/6, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Okay, I did the layer and mask thing.
