I'm liking the PP work that you apparently accomplished.

William,

Thanks for commenting, yes I thought about different ways of processing and settled on a pseudo hdr effect.

Interesting shot John. The PP work looks rather "overcooked" to me. I'm pretty sure that the original was a great shot too.

Hi Manfred,

Thanks for commenting.

Great capture, John. Wonderful color hues in the performer's mask.

I agree on both counts. A great shot, and creative. I don't normally like the effect of part B&W and part color (I forget the name of this), but in this case, I think it works well. However, I do agree with Manfred. I tried a simple reduction of saturation, and to my eye, it looked better that way. Also, there are a couple of small spots of color remaining the background, which you may not have intended--by his left foot, and between his legs.

Interesting shot John, I like it I can see some blues next to his left foot which need fixing.

Very creative! The way you have brought out the texture in everything is just amazing.

When I look at an image like this that is post-processed in a style I would probably never use, I dismiss whatever preferences I would have and instead evaluate it in the context of what I think the person who made the image was trying to accomplish. It's in that context that this one scores very high marks.

Interesting, John. Nicely done.

Mike,
Thank you so much.

Reference to the film "Donnie Darko".

What about a B&W conversion ?

Binnur,

I will work on that, thanks for commenting.

Binnur,

Here is one version.

I think the color image is better John as her mask is more visible
