Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
— Robert Frost

i'm not sure about the solarization of the image. i really would like to see the original color saturated or black and white or sepia...the effect here takes away too much from the image.
I like the effort, but the end result is not thrilling me. Seems forced and not the right look for this image. I hope that makes some sense. I think this is going to be one that will not have a lot of middle ground, voters will either really like it or won't.
Good try and very intersting concept... it's a little bit too overdone for me though. The image has lost most of it's contrast - nothing's really black or really white. But VERY neat idea!
I think the post processing has removed most contrast in this shot and there is little in the composition that says contrast. I don't get the point of the artificial colouring around the face hair and window frame.
