OK. I went nuts with the processing again. For some reason the whole shot came out very red. I tone mapped it, and fiddled with it, and the girl still looked like salmon. I finally did something I read about in one of Bear_Music's posts, and make a black and white version of the shot which I then laid over the colored version and blended the two. At any rate, I kind of liked the result, so here it is.

I hope I can come up with something besides people on bicycles tomorrow, but this is a resort town and bicycle riders are all over the place -- easy targets, as it were.

I'm really enjoying your motion panning shots. Makes me want to go out and try, only I don't know where I could get anything decent - there's very little traffic of any nature outside my house.

The colours came out really nicely in the end.

Hey, you managed to capture someone who didn't notice you :) I really like the after effect of the technique tou used, it turned out really well.

Certainly the girl does not look salmon like any more. I am not sure whether it is a result of the PP that you did with the blending or something else, but the lower1/4 of the shot (from about where her hands hit the handle bars) it is quite muted. When you add the background with motion blur it really gives the top half of the girl some real pop

Gee I am not sure whether I have explained myself well or not, but what I am trying to say is nice shot!!!

Your technique for removing the red worked well. Her arms are a bit gray below the elbow, but I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read your comments.

A good job of catching another object in motion, and I like the backdrop. I think this photo will improve with time.

I think you have managed to get the color tones pretty close/natural looking. Also, good motion panning.

Well, nice processing. You managed to get some realistic skin tone. A bit too dark on the legs, but still you got a very well composed candid.

This is excellent. The processing makes this very interesting to look at. Subject is also awesome, especially given her pose of standing on the pedals.

I sympathise on the bike front. The main street in my town regularly has scyclists up to 4 abreast trolling up and down. I'm a cyclist myself and half the time I'd cheerfully throttle them.

Nice trick with the B&W overlay, I hadn't heard of that before. Really like the result
