Ah, I assumed Odawara was part of Tokyo since I was able to get there using the JR Line. You're right though. It took me 2 hours to get there from Shinjuku Station. :-). The color version actually wasn't that bad (Semi-blue skies). I took the picture on a sunny day during Golden Week. I just liked the Sepia shot better :-)

Fine sepia rendering of this famous castle. But it's not in Tokyo--an hour and a half or even two hours away by train! Our bland "white" skies make B&W a useful fallback when the colour would look unimpressive.

Thank you so much Long. I tried the technique that you stated and it worked. My first attempt (not bad - easy one to do) is posted if you care to take a look at it in my portfolio. Thanks again.

Hi Lisa, it takes a bit of time, but you can do it in Photoshop by using the wand selection tool to select the object you want (in my case, the 3 girls) and then Inverse the selection so that it selects everything but the 3 girls, and then use the Remove Color option in "Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Remove Color".
The selection part is what takes a while though. You may have to use the Lasso Tool (while holding Shift or Alt) to add or remove from the current selection. Just Play around with it and you get the hang of it.

Fantasic image of these three girls. I love the B & W photo with the girl colorized. I've been wanting to learn how to do this myself and have no idea. I also have the Canon 20D with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 - was this achived with the software provided with the camera. If not can you tell me what you used and how you achieved this image. Thank you! Lisa

Okay, I've tried to remove the lens flare. It's a good thing this wasn't any complex clone else I wouldn't be able to do it. I just ended up using the eye-dropper and the paintbrush tool.

Hey Philip, I didn't even notice that 3rd lens flare until you pointed it out :-), nor the Horizon line though that horizon line looks almost slightly curved... I don't know if I can do anything about the Horizon line, but I'm gonna try cloning out the lens flare as Rebecca suggested and post it up at a later date (probably this weekend).

Yeah, I do agree, that lens flare is a bit distracting. I've never cloned anything out of a picture before. I'll give it a try this weekend and attach it to a comment.

Unfortunately the horizon is not as level as it could be, also a lot of movement in the wave. the flair (there are three of them) can be appealing at times but not in this instance. oh, but by the way i do like it.

Beautiful seascape. IS that the moon or a lens flare? I think I'd have cloned that out. The image would be just as beautiful or more so, without it, IMHO.

Nice Angle but try focusing on one tool or painttube. The lack of focus seems distracting.

Excelent idea,it?s a pitty that the man?s arm is in the middle of it! I like the focus area on the brush, right hand and pallete! ~:-)

I like the concept, but i would have chosen more viberant colors (like Alizarin Crimson) for the paint.
Making the pallet larger would also make the image more powerful, as long as it doesn't drown out the man's form.

Very good composition and simple matching title. I just have a comment on the DOF...I believe the shot would have been much better if all the fruits were in focus...all in all well done

Long Tran.. Your image has a good Depth of Field and clarity. The bulkhead on the left side of the picture should of been shot in such a way it would lead you into the Image from Left to right. Or right to left. As presented it leads ones eye down the left side of the frame... Nice fall seen tho'.......Mark

Hi Ray, thanks for the critique. I've noticed that many of my pictures have the same issue - no obvious subjects. I think it's because as I'm walking around, I'm just taking shots of how things look without giving much thought to what it is I'm photographing :-). While I'll probably still do that for memory's sake, I'll try to remember to add more of a focal element to shots as well :-D.
