this has a duped layer converted to b&w and adjusted levels to a high key.
Masked layer and revealed a bit of color

Very nicely done Dave! I like the way you revealed the color-it really brings the focus in. The composition is nice also. Great overall appeal.

Wow...:eek: this is one wicked fellow...I like the composition and placement of the eye in frame Dave...love the high-key...well done...:cool:

[Dave Mills]

Dave, The HK works well with this image along with a strong comp. I like the graduated color effect you achieved.

[Indranil Sircar]

Outstanding composition, Dave. I like the concentric circle effect combined with graduated color of the scales. The placement of the head and the eye with catchlight makes this a standout composition.

Killer image, Dave. Great use of effects to make this a stand-out. The comp and graduated color are wonderful.
