Dear Friends,

this is my contribution for this week theme.. oh Smurfie to me this is tough.. :D i almost don't want to join because i don't know how to do desaturation.. i tried last night but failed and had a headache.. hehe..

so after back from work i tried again just now.. finally i made one.. not so good but it will do.. hehe.. at least i try and came up with something.. only capture this scene this afternoon at the Port operation where it was raining that time.. i thought the colourful tractor and blue colour lorry look attractive.. a bit noisy because of the rain.. but when the rain stop and not long after that a breath-taking sunset :)

thanks for looking.. hope you like it..

cheers, terry


"When water fall from the sky"
by: ahmad ponting

When water fall from the sky
The heart says something,
Pleasing smell arise from the earth,
And the soul gets restless….

When water fall from the sky
The atmosphere looks so beauty,
Every heart gets attracts…

When water fall from the sky
Beautiful chirpy sounds come from the bird,
And peacocks get mad in joy…
When water fall from the sky….

Hi Terry,
Nice PP work with the desaturation, for a first attempt you have done well, this one stood out well in the thumb nail.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hi Terry,

Ok bah kau buat desaturation ni. Very menarik seeing the colour of the trucks on the monochrome canvas. Uii.. ada juga traktor di port? Good job and glad that you didn't stop trying to make complete this work.

TFS.

Hi Terry,
This small tractor posts its difference proudly with the other mastodons! Perhaps, you would not have desaturated the windshield of the one behind it, for a best impact! Nice observation and good idea for the theme!
Bravo! Annie

Hello Terry,

It is very nice the green and blue, Terry. I like the way the tractor and truck do stand out. I am sorry it was raining, but I think you have captured the details perfectly. Very nice indeed and good for the theme.
Warm Regards

Hello Terry,
I agree with you, this week's theme is tough. I never join the Friday theme because I don't have much time and I am clueless when it comes to pp. The blue and green tractors stand out, good choice. I can sense you carefully thought this out. Well presented. Greetings to you and your cat. Best regards, Danilo

Hi dear friend,
nice contribution to the theme :)
I like your choice for the colored parts of the shot.
Have a lovely WE.
Ioana

Hi Terry,
Nicely done, you could sell this one to John Deere.
Perfect interpretation of the theme, well done.
Pete.

I think you did a great job. I have no idea how to do this, and I'm guessing one needs photoshop and my won't work... It's really nice to see what everyone else comes up with though. TFS and have a happy day!

Hello Terry

Well done my friend this is excellent. I am so pleased you persevered and got it working. The image is a good choice for this work and you made a nice job of it.. See now you have learned something new:-)

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Excellent work Terry, very well composed and the partial colour works well. Good over all detail and nice tones in the B&W.

Hi Nong
Champin gia pp ko ni. Nampak menarik kalau bikin iklan kobuta'. Itu kobuta' ada 4 bodyguard basar-basar sama PA - yg warna putih. Kalaulah itu kapala luri yang biru tu pun desaturated juga, kompom itu kobuta' jadi VVIP.

Selamat Hujung Minggu
