Ladies & Gentlemen, a photo from Central Area, Central

Photographer's Note

This is at the gallery featuring classical photographs of Baba and Nyonya. The centre partition brillantly divided the space into half, and what has caught me is that on each side is more condensed on female at the left and male at the right.

Techniques applied:
1) Colorize each side by using Hue and Satuaration.
2) Blend the bottom with 50% History Brush.

Wonderful concept, Louis. I like how the pink and blue are mixing at the bottom, just the way the ladies and the gentlmen are a bit mixed too. It's interesting how the ladis are looking at the pictures while the gente are chatting...
Well seen and very well captured.

Well seen! You use of pink and blue added a special dimension to what could have been "just another gallery" shot. I like it very much, because now you are highlighting all the differences between the 2 groups, not only the gender.

This is a good one. Like the concept of how the image is handled. Cheers!

Very nice eye you've got! Captured in the precise moment. Composition is excelent with a very casual atmosfere and a simetry of one element on each side with the back turned into us.

Great tones.

Fantastic shot of almost unbelievable situation. Very well seen and very clever use of colorizing.

That'll be my favorite.

Very clever! Well seen and well composed. The symmetry (or asymmetry depending on ones view) is amusing. I also love your use of color stereotypes.

A fun idea and nice post process work. this picture made med smile. Very well seen of you. You seem to have cauthi it all in the right moment as well. A litle while later the pepole might have moved in to teyh "wrong" position.

Cette photo montre clairement un phénomène naturel qui semble universel et que l'on peut noter dans tout type de rassemblement social de petite dimension dans un espace restreint, je pense... Très bien vu.

Good idea, very well executed Louis.

Très intéressante réalisation. C'est du plus bel effet.

let me be a contrarian and say that I don't think colorizing was such a brilliant idea. if they were wearing pinkish and bluish colours naturally, that would be a striking effect. but colorizing... stereotyping - boys in blue and girls in pink. i'm a girl in blue!!

nice experiment.. love the result..

jmfarace (342) 2004-12-15 15:47

Brilliant, just brilliant Louis... I like your accidental timing... both, the man and woman (up in front with their back toward the lens) are in the same position, right foot forward and looking left... that was the first thing that I noticed... and the lines of the ceiling and wood floor draw my eyes thru the crowd, as I inspect each face, moving to the rear of the room... I also like the concept of your use in color stereotyping... colorizing and labeling the image as you did made it unique... very mechanical...

fiedziu (1764) 2005-05-08 6:46

I dont like your frame but concept is great
picture well done, sorry, but I prefer it without this frame
regards

Very interesting photograph, Louis. I think it could have stood on its own (without the colorization. I wonder what was so different about the paintings that made the men and women separate that way?
