A man resting at a park after exercising. I only got to take 3 shots before he left. This is #1.
I desaturated all colors except for green and yellow so the man appears in black and white in contrast against the trees. An interesting effect, I think.

I think I would've liked the picture better if it was all in color or all in black and white. I find I'm distracted by the color change instead of struck by it. Nice idea though.
I like it but it would have been better if the color could have been removed from all of his body. The spots of color are really distracting on his neck, tummy, shoulder...
When the challenge is over please write up a "how'd he do that" for this shot. Very good work, the coloring effect does much to bring out the subject and strengthen the photograph. Very nice work!
I love the fact that you stepped out and submitted something that caused people to wonder in here. I voted on this before the validation was made and my score reflected more on what is said in this photo...I love the title "rest" and the subject is good. 7 - KDJohnson
This is disturbing to me...looks more like death. Just not something I like to look at. Technically, not that great either. I think whatever method you used to achieve the b&w and color mix is neat and could be used on some other subject matter much more successfully. 5 Lisa
This is interesting. I'd like to know how you did this (although I'm sure I'll have to stand in line). However, I don't see how the trees in the background add to this picture, or at least not the top third of the picture.
At first I thought silver makeup then I scroled down and saw the admin note. So now please tell us how this effect was acheived through legal image modifications.
Very Cool.. I notice very small spots of skintone creeping in, however just being so much different than everyone else's it caught my eye and recieved an 8. If the skin tone had not shown some I wopuld have given it a 9. I would like to see a Tutorial on this if possible.
I really like this affect. Im actually messing with it myself. Unfortunatly I believe It is not allowed for this photo contest. for this reason i have to give a mediocor rating. P.S.I just got the note on the validation of this photo so ill upgrade my vote.
I'm reminded of Beckett's Stirrings Still when I look at this, but I have my doubts about the intention. I think this would look better all B&W or with the colours much more muted; the framing could be improved by reducing the stretch of trees above. This is still the most evocative piece this week and it deserves a 10 on artistic merit alone.
This photo conveys a feeling of desperation to me. (Of the subject, NOT the photographer!) The contrast between the subject and the pastoral setting behind him is very unsettling.
Interesting effect, whatever it is :) I commented earlier about the edit not being allowed and I will now adjust... This has a really ghostly effect and I like it :) = 7 - jmsetzler
