    Smile Key West - Ernest Hemingway's Estate

    Here a few pics I have been working on.
    They are all from a recent trip to Key West all the pics except the Star Fish are from the Hemingway Estate.
    I chose the B/W with spot colour, to try and show the past being preserved for the future, or it looked cool this way. Not sure..lol

    Oh! I love that second shot! Great comp and lighting =) How come you didn't make the statue also colour? It looks kinda odd being the only thing on the table to not be colour.

    I like the cat one too. Again, I think the other cat should also have been in colour. And the last two look perfectly fine to me! =D I'm not too keen on the first one though....I think it's the comp I have a problem with. And it sort of looks tilted.

    Nice job, overall though!

    ETA: For some reason, I always think he was married to Sylvia Plath. I dunno why

    Thanks.
    Do not really know why I did not colour the cat on the table. Here is a copy with the cat coloured. I do like it a little better.
    I left the cat on the stairs not coloured as it was mostly B/W and was not sure if I liked it coloured.
    As for the chair I like it and hate it. There is just something that I can not seem to get right with it. Might be as you suggested maybe I will try a little straightening and cropping and see if that helps.
    Again thanks for the comments I really appreciate them, fairly new to this stuff and the feed back is great.

    Shot 2 is my fave of the lot and the colouring makes good sense to me and is effective in this case. i have no problem with the chair. My only small nit on this is how centered the white book looks. Aside from that, I dig this one best.

    I like the second one the best. Nice job considering the conditions. If I remember correctly that room is not accessible and your options are limited.

    It was a great tour

    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

    Yep, like the table with the selective coloring the best as well.
