Daves View
Street Theatre #8

The same image as yesterdays, but following on from the original processing, I used a couple of LAB curves to almost desaturate the image, leaving only a little yellow and blue in.
Let me know which one you prefer!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

What a wonderful image, a very powerful composition and the tones really add punch to this image, beautifully captured!

I prefer this one as the person in the background is less visible (and distracting)
nice image either way

I love both, but the bokeh looks better in this version :) so overall I'll have to say this is my favourite :)
and no I hate cleaning, it's horrible lol

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine, I don't think many people like cleaning! :)

and again, looking back and forth, I find the gold glitters maybe in the coloured version, so both have some element that the other doesn't, so I'd have to say, that these are TWO darned good photos lol

I love this shot! I think it works either way, though I find the blue in the color shot a bit distracting.
