Selective Color Revisited #2–Color Guard

I published the full color version of this picture earlier this week in Changing of The Guard. I thought the guard got lost in the image so I did a little bit of editing to make him stand out.

Selective Color Revisited #1–Girl in The Blue Dress

I have been writing this blog for about 8 years and now have over 2000 followers in over 30 countries. I have not monetized the blog and am pretty casual about promotion. I do follow the analytics though and the posts that get the most attention are concert images, zombie images, wildlife images and attractive women. I have notice another trend recently after publishing A Monaco Moment.

People like selective color images. Combine an attractive woman and selective color and I have a really popular image. Here is one similar to A Monaco Moment taken in Milan a few years ago and edited in 2018. It also received a lot of views, comments and one person in Europe purchased it last year.

A Monaco Moment

It was pretty crowded when we visited Monaco and saw the Changing of The Guard at noon. However, standing alone and striking a pose she presented a striking vision.

Patterns Along The River

While walking on the The Three Rivers Heritage Trail I became fascinated with the shadows from the trees and fences. My wife suggested the angle, I thought it looked better in monochrome than color.

Three Rivers Heritage Trail Exploratory Mission

During this pandemic we have started to explore areas we haven’t visited before. In recent weeks we have traveled to Ligonier and North Park ro search for Eagles. Yesterday we stayed closer to home and parked the car in Millvale and walked a part of the The Three Rivers Heritage Trail, This is an urban rail trail paralleling the riverbanks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Allegheny County for about 33 miles. It is an easy walk offering nice views of the river. Next time we will take our dog.
