Love Is Like A Butterfly

Comment by Dave Gordon:
The butterfly is gorgeous against the desaturated leaves. I think green leaves would both clash with the overall butterfly and blended into the green edges. I'd love to know how you selected the delicate feelers to keep them colored while the background was desaturated.

I wanted to do the same thing for Waiting...only in a mall. Picture of an old guy sleeping in a lazy boy chair in the mall foyer with right shutter speed to blur those walking by..."Waiting while the wife shops."
You've done a wonderful job here. The motion blur of the others only hightens the sense of those being still and ...waiting. One of my highest scores.

Very weird- in a good way I think. The giant head with the glasses is the key to this shot for me. Without him I think this would just be another street scene.

I like the idea of the blurred walker vs the standing people, but it would have worked better if the blur werent covering those waiting so much.

Thi sis a very amusing capture. The old man in the advertisement appears to be looking over the girl's head. I like the motion blur behind her. Great job.

Hmmm... I think that while the motion blur is very interesting, it's really dynamic and it takes away from the stillness one associates with waiting.
