That's neat
Dublin Sonja (85 months ago | reply)
This is fantastic. I love the idea - and you picked a great scene to be reflected in the glasses. Usually I do not like shots which are B/W with something else "highlighted" in colour, but in this one I think it really works!!! Faved!

Love the treatment on this bad boy probably would not work as well as either a straight mono or colour. Excellent post Return from Pay It Forward

Fantastic idea, Michael. You are so creative.
The B&W vs Color framed by the sunglass works really really great in terms of composition.
And, of course, enjoy your vacation. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

What is so striking is the absence of color except for the reflection. It makes it intense like a night fire.
