    Interesting composition, Michael. No doubt the 'strange color mood' is well reflected here For me, the blue is overpowering the other two but again this very subjective. The mood and contrast is well captured across the three frames. Great to see some OOTB thinking here... TFS.

    Michael, bottom line is - I like it! I like the progression of de-saturation from left to right and the symmetry of the repeating subject. Nice one!

    Michael, I like this too! It's interesting and I can't seem to stop looking at it. I think that the original capture was a great choice to use for this.

    Indranil, Kerry, Denise,

    Thank you very much for the comments! This is one of those where I quietly ask myself have i gone off the deep end? The original shot was taken with a strong vertical tilt with my t/s lens giving the vertical center more focus than the sides. I saw the blue version while spinning through the blending modes (not sure what I was blending) and hit upon the subtraction blend and was caught by it. Some of the concept was super contrast of a blurred subject. What was I saying about deep end?

    Cheers,

    -Michael-
