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 !
