(another) Poppy picture from The Tower b/w with selective colour

[Tony Hawkins]

Hi all,

I’ve not posted anything lately – I’ve got a new petrol/plug in electric car and the spare time has dragged me to other forums to get the best from the car – anyway that’s very off topic.

Hope you like this – it’s one of the millions of pictures taken of the ceramic poppies at The Tower of London. It was a very moving visit.

I quite like the treatment tony but the mono part of the shot needs a bit more punch by way of contrast I think

sorry its not working for me - maybe because I saw your colour version and did like that a lot

Thanks Stan, how's this (might be better viewed on FLICKR)

No problem Ian, but the colour version was never posted.

may have misled you there - I did remove the green stems from part of the 'poppy field' but the top section was always b/w

I like them both, but Stan's enhancements just give it the edge. Crackin' photo though Tony.
