When I originally commented on this image, I made a reference to Stirrings Still (Samuel Beckett),
which I think still applies. Here's a quote:

"There had been a time he would sometimes lift his head enough
to see his hands. What of them was to be seen. One laid on the
table and the other on the one. At rest after all they did. Lift
his past head a moment to see his past hands. Then lay it back on
them to rest it too. After all it did."

Good explanation of a well-done photo. The only thing I'd love to see in these tutorials is screenshots or info on the specific settings you used to manipulate the colors, sharpen, etc. Even though it would be different for each photo, seeing the curve or levels settings would be easier to assimilate/remember than just the phrase "desaturate the..."

Really nice job. I have a whole series of these BW/Color shots that I have been working on. Non digital people hate them. I love em... I always create 2 layers with the color layer on top, bw underneath and either erase out the color section to reveal the BW, use the path tool to cut a silo or use color range to pick out the color I want to isolate...

Examples - Color Range...

Path Tool...

Erasing...
//www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1135726 (my personal favorite)

The only thing I could suggest is one more capture on a perspective transform move to also straighten the table to the horizontal also. Having the table skewed really doesn't finish the image.

In general I think your tutorial will get people thinking. What it may lack in definition it more than makes up for in "wow I gotta try that".

So really,,, Excellent job...

Dave
