Well, technically her name is not Dorothy, but I couldn't resist:-)

Wow Nik.....what a beautiful field! Nice shots...The orange processing is cool kind of...like being on the moon or another planet. Looks like a very fun and productive day. Nice comps on these.

BriShay

Those are great!

The color of the flowers are so pretty. I'd like to see some more "normal" shots.

Thanks, David, appreciate it!
Yeah, "extraterrestial" was definitely a direction I was going to with this treatment:-)

I am probably a little old fashioned by I love the original version. the matching of the color of the dress with the flowers looks great!

I have no problem with that:-) In fact, we planned for that match!

Great shots Nik!! I really like both versions. while also sitting here thinking they would look great B&W expecially #'s 2 & 3.

One small suggestion. For her leave the tatoo there, but for your portfolio I might consider cloning it out, it is not very pretty and really draws the eye away from the face in the last shot, JMO.

Thanks Jeff!
I agree about tatoo . I prepare things for her first, and then take care of my own needs:-) I think I will be able to find some tatoo-less pics of her out of 450+ frames I got:-)

Again, wonderful work from a master! I prefer the normal ones, as I am not a fan of the duo-tones.

Thanks! I do like the "normal" ones, too, but I wanted to do something different. Orange on orange seemed like a cool idea, it's very alien look to it:-)

Very true. You certainly accomplished what you were set on doing. I took another look at them and there is a certain aspect of the images that makes you appreciate the model. With all of the color in the normal shots, I'm not as focused on the model. I think in that sense the effect is very useful.
