Wonderful capture and perfect treatment -- the black and white tones down the busy background and the red really pops. Love it. #8345520Sherry McClead January 31, 2010
Thanks Pat and Nikki... I used the selection tool to select the red and inversed it so I could convert the rest to B&W... then played around some to make it a bit more interesting in topaz... added a little extra sat to the red too... #8345628Tori A. Gonzalez February 01, 2010
