A Touch of Color

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 16 February 2007 in People & Portrait.

It was a beautiful day, we were walking around Kitano in Kobe and we saw this painter, concentrated in his work; drawing and giving a touch of color to the canvas, just enjoying and expressing his feelings. We talked for a while and I bought one of his small paintings. This photo is dedicated to him!

Mi esposo dice que la foto es muy buena... Yo no se como haces esos efectos pero me gusta el resultado en la composicion.... Me da la sensacion que estoy recibiendo un mensaje que me dice: Dale color a tu vida...

Para mi ese es un buen consejo jiji

More often than not I don't think people use selective colouring in the right way the result being overly-processed images. You've used it to great effect however, the subject here lends itself over to this kind of post-processing-style. Very nicely done indeed!
