Challenge: Complementary Colors (Classic Editing)
Camera: Ricoh Caplio RR1
Location: Amsterdam, NL
Date: May 17, 2003
Aperture: f/2.6
ISO: 228
Shutter: 1 sec
Galleries: Cityscape, Water
Date Uploaded: May 17, 2003

 Shot over Amsterdam harbor at full moon. Image forced into yellow and purple, partly by transformation from RGB to grayscale and back (for the purple part) and partly by inversion from b/w and forcing the black to yellow. All transformations were applied to the whole image. Final image was (experimentally - I have no experience with the program, yet) filtered by Neat-image before cropping and sharpening.

great colours. the moonlight on the water looks a bit fake/over processed, but it works for the challenge.

That streak of sunlight/moonlight really is pleasant!

nice hue shift, just not for me. 2

This is very lovely but I'm afraid that despite the purple tone it doesn't register as sharply complementary to me.

Interesting colors and details. It creates a nice mood. -T

Nice shot. I think if you had been able to capture this when the moon was lower, so that your crop was more panoramic than squarish, it wouldhave been even more effective.

For some reason, this makes a 16th century impression on me. The purple and also the yellow/gold of the image is very striking. Wonder whether that was in-camera or from photoshop; doesn't really matter to me. It has a very pleasing, mysterious effect. Love that light cloud on the top of the image. The only thing i don't like,and would have cropped it out, is the moon. Would have cropped the image right below. But you will probably get lots of comments raving about this moon. Also see some banding from compression. Very nice. 9

while this meets the colour challenge, it seems really forced with the post processing you've done to it. The yellowy/green is quite unpleasant for my eye too, I'm afraid to say.

Looks almost ghostly. I like the composition. I bet this looks great in full color, too, huh? In fact, I'd really like to see it before the color processing after the challenge. 9.

meets the challenge but looks unnatural to the point that I don't care for it... I like a lot of digital manipulations, but I don't care for it in a situation where photography is the primary key... = 4
