Selective Colour
Whilst i was PP this one - noticed that desaturating the yellows - produced this result - painted the foreground yellows back in.

Hi Lance,
I really like this, and I think you've found something that I have found too... I am using PS CS4, but I suspect that this is true of other versions as well - the image seems to be mostly comprised of reds and yellows. If there is a lot of sky, then of course there are blues and grass is green, but for the most part I've found those two colors to be the dominant ones in most images. Oh yeah, nice roo!

Lance, I hope you don't mind I added a link to the OP from ETL.
This was one of my favorites of yours, very nice pose and flowered FG. The de-saturated BG looks great-can't decide which I prefer. Nice work.
No worries Denise :)Originally Posted by denise ippolito
I like the peacefulness of this image...cute Roo...TFS
That roo is adorable. I love the desaturated look to the FG and I really like the roo but I find myself wishing for just a bare whisp of blue in the sky to separate it from the roo. Just my gut feeling...
I really like the relaxed pose and those long dangling legs (arms?). The monochromatic colors work well with the bits of color in the grass, very well done :)
Very nice composition, Lance. The colors work well here. nice pp. Is this a wallaby? looks small to me.
Looks are deceiving - this guy was quite big - nothing else in the frame to give a comparison of size :)
