This is a lovely image, but it bothers me, for this challenge, that you have made no attempt to fit the image into the context of the original challenge, which was "duotones"; had you done a BW conversion into duotone, I'd have scored this near the top.

Personally, I can't believe this didn't take the blue by a mile. In my opinion, it's far and away the best entry photographically and also meets the challenge "better", or at least more viscerally, than anybody else did. Nevertheless, killer finish!

Originally posted by dragonlady: It seems to give the same effect as a blue duotone or tritone, just more work...I'd like to see it in duotone with a dodge/burn layer to adjust lightness and darkness and a gradient prior to duotone conversion.

The "duotone" aspect of it is just an overlay on the process, nothing new there. The dodge/burn and gradient work has already been incorporated; each separate channel layer has been worked on on the layer mask to that effect. This is a relatively muted rendering, for sure. I am going to try a more aggressive version, this was just the first runthrough.

I'm surprised nobody commented on the Tri-X vs XXX pun in the title...

I can't believe this failed to crack top 10. Helluva shot.

Jejeje™ Next time I'll do one with an open mouth and 'shop out my tongue, so I'll be blind, deaf, and mute :-)

Weaving the tapestry

I like the picture, but the title bothers me because this is NOT "weaving", it is "needlepoint".

Converse.

I guess it's all relative, but from my perspective (61 yrs of age) TURQUOISE Converses are new-wave, not old-wave. In the day, they came in your choice of colors as long as it was black :-)

It's a nice shot though :-) And they are certainly a throwback design. I'm not dinging you for this, just reminiscing...
