Good choice of source pic...it looks great with everything else desaturated! (I especially like the band-aid on the elbow, there's such a great kid vibe to that).

Thanks - I didn't notice the band-aid 'til after I'd finished the image - desaturated it looks like a nasty growth!

nice idea

nice

Thanks y'all - was a very simple entry - I think I was lucky to get the source pic!

one foto two part coler very very emeging

unfortunately that is more than one thing coloured.... no offence author.

OPS!!!!! you're right. Fixed!!!

Very Good, Although the previous version would have been okay in my opinion as you could class the whole 'reflection' as 1 part

awesome! I knew that there would be one entry here that just stuck out from the others. Why it sticks out? I'm not sure but it does to me. It just says a lot for some reason.

Nice touch

Really nice source image! Nice composition...far more effective as you have it than in full color.

Beautiful!

neat

Pixelkid is right. It is way more effective as black and white image You found a very good source. Good luck!

i first looked at this and thought you photoshopped in the hand and the paint. Still it looks very nice, goodluck author.

"You can only color ONE thing..."

this dont fit the contest guidelines .. sorry

author.. desaturate the WHOLE piece again and color in ONE aspect of the piece.. I think you chose the flower but there is still color on the girl's back.. I suggest for a great effect to color in only the Girl's flesh with some very fantastic color (If you color in the whole flower it kinda misses the point of the contest because all the shading will cause layers of color) but it is up to you... just make sure the colored area POPS .. good luck

Sorry
Was so late last night that i didn't realise i fogot to do her back.

Hope its ok now

Nice idea, I'd make the high resolution version somewhat smaller (back to the original image's size), right now it's quite pixelated, which is a pity. Good luck!

Oops thanks for the tip wazowski...an oversight on my part. Image has been fixed...used at correct size now. Looks better...thanks.

nicely done author.

did you forget the reflection on the building or purposely leave it there?

@k5683...not sure what your question is...but the reflection of only the three letters illuminated is intentional. The outer neon elements furthest from the building purposefully did not get put onto the building, because I felt they were too far from the building to cast color there. Does that make sense? Thanks for inquiring...I appreciate it.

Oh great! Especially in combination with the title! Very good work with the letters and the glow. And I'm pretty sure, that the theater will see better times some day. Nobody can be sad forever, right? Good luck!
