Blue, yes. Blue wall, Blue girl, Blue mood, possibly blubious (dubious).
Not one of my favorite shots but, there is something that I like just not sure quite why.

    The power of suggestion! I say - Meh and everyone accepts it as so.
    Even if you agree I would love to know that it does nothing for you :D

    I have a sneaking suspicion that it is her eyes, that has you spell bound~

    Her eyes seem to pierce right thru whatever veil you have layered there.

    And I know thats why I like this shot!thumb.gif

    In her own words "That's so creepy!" Why is it creepy? I ask, "My eyes they stand out!", That's the point.

    Thanks Tom!

    I think my issue with this is that it would work in green, yellow, red, etc. The blue doesn't imply particular mood, or specific type of setting. The digital work is spot on (as expected). When I look at this, the sort of ideal image is with some other people walking by and her "Blending in"...

    I really, really like this photo. Love the texture. Love the eyes. She even looks a little bit sad.

    But I know this is just the beginning. Can't wait to see what you come up with. :lurk

    Found this today, I have entered it and leaving it at that unless something wonderful jumps into view this weekend.

    Thanks everyone for your help and support on the other image. It just did not feel right in the end.

    I'm a sucker for finding the theme naturally, so I love it. Its a very nice color of blue, and nicely framed shot.

    Thanks! I myself envisioned finding blue instead of manufacturing it.

    Very nice image Sean but may I ask why I don't see water or sand or something that reveals where it is?
    You know I'm curious so I had to ask. Not that I don't like it I really do I just expect to see something else. Do I make sense?

    peace, g

    Thanks Gail!

    It is in the water but because of the way the light was or wasn't reflecting at the angle I took the picture at the exposure of the water was much much darker than the rest of the boat and rope, making it black.

    Sean, I really like this photo, but I am more of a "less photoshop is more" kinda gal. Well done!

    You are a man of many, many talents.

    Your entry is just wonderful - it meets the theme, is a beautifully framed and exposed photograph (and would be in b&w as well), and has a clean simplicity.

    Darn. Hard to beat. :D

    Virginia

    PS- I really love your lady in blue as an artistic photograph. Funny, but it is stronger when it stands on its own and is not weighed down by the blue theme!
