RED Umbrella

What do you think of selective color?

Personally, I almost always dislike selective color. It seems to sell well, but to me it feels gimmicky.

I totally agree Gregory... but, a wierd thing happened. I started a RED umbrella series and I kinda like it.

The black and white portrait is outstanding. I wonder if it would feel more consistent as an overall image if you darkened the umbrella somewhat and desaturated it somewhat

Good point, Gregory... tHANKs!

Usually, I'm not a fan of selective color. But, this image has a almost movie feel to it. Kinda reminds of Sin City. I like it.

With that said, had you asked the same question with your other red umbrella images with the other two models, it would have been a no...just no. :)

...tHANKs for your comments, Black Z Eddie! I too am not a fan of selective color but sometimes I find it refreshing to step out of my confort zone.
