Heart in Ha

[ollypenrice]

I should have posted this with the colour version but forgot. It combines 3Nm and 7Nm simply because I had both.

There was widespread agreement on the French forum that my red saturation was too high in the HaRGB version so I've toned it down a bit here but I like colour and think this is OK, at least on my monitors.

Very nice Olly. A morning of inuendo guaranteed then?

To steer it into a different direction one of the French imagers described the original as too sanguine for his taste. Given the function of a heart I should have thought that being a little sanguine ought to be OK!

Well yes but I think the operative word in his response was 'taste', after all it's a French comment. ;-)

Excellent Olly !

I really like the monochrome version.

Well done

yes, the red has been nicely pumped and throbs with intensity. Looks great against the blue stars in the background. All in all it's quite arresting.

Wonderful image. One of the best Heart captures I've seen.

Both look amazing (weirdly the red reminds me of sorbet and makes me hungry.....) but I'm a sucker for mono and that one is just beautiful.

I often think of Gerry and the Pacemakers. How could they have known??
