Color & grayscale together doesn't work. Try colorizing the source image.

cmyk46 is right, colorize the whole image for better effect

I disagree. I love the grayscale and color look. It gives the image a very dreamlike quality, as if the bride's presence is colorizing everything around her (think of the opening to the Gerard Butler version of "Phantom of the Opera". Only critique I see is that the top of the stained glass window doesn't quite match up with the source image. A little skewing/angling should fix it up easily, though. Great work, author!

I agree with CMYK about colorize and also what about fixing up the church also.

Dreamlike quality my ass. It's discordant, and color matching the church would harmonize the entry.

I tried to merge the color as the hope of the dream being realized, rather than with black and white as the dream going, but thanks for the advice!

Matching the pews to the church might be another way to go, rather than colorizing the church.

a sudden thought... maybe make pieces of the wall-church flying off... like dream broken up...

just a tot

thanks to all !

You know I came along kind of late to look at this picture but in my opinion you have done a nice job on it. The colors and or lack of them??? look fine to me.

I think the desat adds to the 'story' of the title - maybe could have done some desat on the front pews and bottom of the stained glass, but overall, a very creative idea and good chop.

Thank you, Pérola !

nice blending of the the water -- find the straight line on the left in the arch a bit distracting (know it is in the original image) but because of the colour of this image seem to stand out a bit too much. Also there are whiteish strips on the inside of the arches which again are distracting in the high res

Very nice effect, good effort!

ok thx for the comments, removed the white line alan

if the outside is brighter due to the moon, the inside water should be darker, this will create more contrast and mood.

add a little white-wash (waves) to the side of the arch (where water flows in)

very nice work and good thinking good luck author
like it

nice flood scene... add more drama by intensifying the light coming through the window and darkening the interior

good idea. Too make it more real, the edge of the flood should not be single horizontal line, because the pilars are closer to the viewer.

What's the source for the people?

I forgot to add the people source
This is it:

believable scene

Thanks aheman!

The most artistic one of them all .

why are the people in the ground? atleast that is what it looks like. If they aren't in the ground they are very very small and squished.

No they aren't, to me ,the proportion between people and support poles, seems ok...
