I didn't have anything else to do last night so I borrowed one of my images, that's already on Caedes and did a little experimenting. This was done with the free program Pisca2 from Google. Let's see what everyone thinks.

I love the b&w, and then the colour that you added makes this incredible. A great job Michael. I hadn't noticed the smudge above the balloon at first glance but I do see it now that Jess mentioned it, what exactly did you do with the image, I looked in your gallery to see what you played with, lol.

this is really cool, using the part color/part Black and White works well for this, there's just a part of the photo that should be B&W where it looks like "smeared" color: just above the baloon. But other from that it's great! (just a thought:It would be interesting to try leaving the reflection of the baloon in color too!)

I'm impressed, Michael! I didn't notice the extra "smear" of color until pointed out. I like the humor of your manip, too.

I think this is stunning! The contrasts really make the color stand out sharply.

This is terrific. Lots of impact. I like the idea of trying a coloured reflection as well. Maybe it is better this way but would have to see.

I find this to be very playful, not only in your efforts, but in it's appearance. The background image is so sharp and the balloon just pokes us in the eye. A wonderful joining of fine photos with great colored framing.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

This is some damn fine image manipulation. Great shot and great colors.

Michael..it's all been said, except that I must say that I like the border. In fact on a lot of pics I like a border...but that's a matter of personal preference, I suppose. This was a great idea and now you've got me going out to try google's pisca...my family thinks I'm dead anyway..lol

Michael, this is on my desktop and looks great! A dramatic image with the balloon. The B/W is excellent and shows off the vibrant colors of the balloon in a very appealing way. The light and reflections add more beauty. The two borders are a good addition, and I like the colors used. Excellent work!

Hello Michael...I have learned so much from all your wonderful framing and borders...but I have to admit, this time, I would loved to have seen the whole frame with no border at all. I think that's simply because I love the photo so much, I want to get all that I can from it. And the way that hot air balloon jumps out at me, from the black and white is just fantastic!..(hey did ya forget to write?lol) Thanx for a great shot here my friend....verena

Stunning post mister!! Would've liked to seen just a simple, clean white frame and the reflection of the balloon in color would've really been a knock-out. Fantastic overall comp and a grand capture Michael!!

I've had this in my favorites for a while I wish I'd set it as my background sooner! It makes a WONDERFUL desktop! Even my icons look pretty now like little air baloons! The border sets it off nicely too.
