[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In this photo I tried to reflect how I sometimes look at particular situations, isolating the part that interests me most, in this case the girl behind the bar :) Whilst the foreground elements were quite interesting in themselves, it was she who held my attention.

This is a technique I will try to improve on, as I really enjoy discovering these moments!

Desaturation is only one way of isolating particular elements of a photo, but in this case I think it is the best option. Can anyone think of another way?

Good mix and effect to isolate the main interest while giving character to the foreground. Good work!

Nice PP work. Interesting contrast with the subject. B&W works very well.

Nice image, Rob. I like how you left not only the woman in color, but her immediate surroundings. I also like her facing *away* from the camera - it adds a little mystery to the photo. As another method of isolating the girl as subject, you could have thrown everything in the foreground out of focus, and kept her sharp, but I like your results here. Well done!

rob,
the idea works for me,and the compo as well.b&w and colored part are really nice together.
regards
