 A man on W.49th Street, walking his dog.

Clarify tool, black and white points, edge enhance, added border.

Funny, I never even noticed the pink in the upper right. That's the leash for Dog #2, off-camera.

No monotone or color desaturation at work here, though the b&w point tool and the clarify tool both increased contrast (the sort of whitish glow around the dog was the result of the clarify tool).

Yup, the black spots are chewing gum. People are pigs!

This is effective on so many levels, and I could probably write paragraphs analyzing it. One thing I really like is the framing. The way you isolated your subjects with respect to the grid lines in the pavement, give it a disorienting, warped-reality sort of feel. I think it would work even if we couldn't make out your subjects (feet and dog), but of course they makes it even more fun. Great.

Wait! Bubble gum on 49th? But that was a long time ago...

This is very funny. Wouldn't be so much so without the perspective and composition you have chosen.

I think the pup might be leaking. ROFL! Nice catch!

Huh. I thought this was B&W with the collar studs & leash clasp selectively colored back in until Melethia mentioned the pink spots in the upper left. What an interesting naturally monotone(ish) shot.

I like the dark spots on gray. It creates a very pleasing visual effect somehow. You know that's bubblegum, dontcha?

Oh I do like this! Excellent angle/perspective; the black bits on the sidewalk really do add to this (but you need to lose the wee pink bit in the upper right corner). Good thing the dog has a collar on - sometimes with these little fluffy ones it's hard to tell which end is which. :-)
