For the September One Four Challenge I’ll edit the eye picture I posted for the WPC-theme “Close Up”. For the first week I turned the picture in monochrome letting only two parts colourful, and I created around the coloured parts frames. A simply but an impressive edit, which I have seen by many other photographers but I haven’t tried it before now.
Images and words 
your edits are very intriguing Agnes! Love this one!

I like the blue in the coloured portion of the whites of the eye – if the whites were white it would be harder to distinguish between the black and white and the coloured sections of the image. your final result is quite fascinating.

Thank you. I also think that the blue colour at the eyeballs highlights the difference between the black&white and coloured sections.

Great effect, I havent seen it before, and nicely executed. Im not so sure about the blue eyeball bits tho?

Thank you. Yes, the blue eyeball is a mistake. I didn’t realize that a blue curtain had some effect on the colours of the eye until Marsha mentioned it. I should have notice it and make it white. But maybe for this weeks edit is not that bad that there are more colour, it makes more easily noticeable, that not the whole picture is monochrome. Still it’s a bit weird. :)

Well we don’t know what the final image will be but yes a blue eyeball is not in the standard design spec :)

I really like the use of the squares in the composition to selectively add colour. A nice trick that I may steal.

very cool…what is interesting to me is how the “white” of the eye actually is blue in your edit! And love the green and blue in the iris…

Oh, wow, I didn’t realise that! Thank you! I didn’t really do anything with the colours. I photographed it in the morning standing before my window and the light came through a blue curtain. I didn’t realize until you mentioned this, that it had some effect on the colours of the eye. If you look at the original picture, which I posted for WPC, it’s also blue. I should have notice it and make it white. But maybe for this picture is good that there are more colour, it makes more easily noticeable, that not the whole picture is monochrome. Still it’s a bit weird. :)

Agnes, this is such an attractive image and edit. The result is intriguing and beautiful. I wonder – do you think we’d notice the colour at a glance, or would we think it was mono? Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Btw, I think I still owe you a comment on your last dandelion. Also awesome.. and creative! 😃😃

First everybody sees this picture as a mono I think, but maybe the frames are also helping to see, that something is different there and not the whole picture is mono. That’s really kind of you, that you remembered the dandelion. I like the one with the bubbles most. :)
