Welcome aboard. It´s well done, but I think you have to delete the "yingyang" shape. And you need to post a sbs (step-by-step-guide) read faq, rules and guidelines. Otherwise the will remove you entry. Hope to see more of your work here. GL on this one!

Will do so as soon as possible... i guess tomorrow! thanks!

I have made the changes and hope it is satisfactory!

If life is never black & white, maybe there should be a spot of color?

Kind of cool. I think CMYK46 is too restrained in his comment; the image's message would seem to suggest that the whole of "Black & White" should be a rainbow or something. In any event, the 'C' needs to cast a shadow on the '&.' And the totality raises the issue as to whether an entry needs to be legible absent the title (which this is not).

Its so nice to get comments! Thank you both, CMYK and Dan, I appreciate it! Probably you will see more black and white, puzzling images from me. For me this place is really inspiring ! ! ! So once again, thanks for having me!

hey wow!! now it looks pretty cooool....

Nice job and welcome to the site!

cool work author...and as Pearlie sad,welcome to PXLeyes

Great chop author ! good luck

cool work...

The umbrella needs a little more blur to blend better on the background.

ok thanks

There should be a green cast on the phone...look at how the red in the glass colors the phone in the source pic.

When it comes to colorizing, it's obviously up to the colorer as to what gets colored. Nevertheless, I think it should all make some sort of sense. So I don't get why the umbrella shaft wasn't colored, especially when the umbrella's finial was. Also, the focus of the coloring seems to be the cocktail, so why not color the glass holding the cocktail?

ok thanks, im quite new to photoshop so im not that good with it but i will try to do these things. thanks for the help.

Hey Author,

I think what you are doing is perfect! Keep chopping and experimenting with differnt techniques....

I think the colors are wonderful!

thanks, i'm quite new to pxleyes and i have tweaked the photo a bit but i cant find anyway of uploading my tweaked version. if anyone could help it would be very appreciated.

cool!

Lovely entry, I like it a lot. Flowers could be bigger, IMO.

I have to agree with erikuri. This looks more like 'green beauty' as the leaves dominate the white flowers.

simply beautiful..., leaves are awesome..., gdlck
