Color.
Splashed on the walls of cities, in batches of flowers in gardens, in the doodles of students, and on the palettes of artists, color is everywhere: it may represent our mood, and it can affect our mood. In photography, you can use a spectrum of colors to bring a place to life, or focus on a single shade to make a bold statement. Conversely, you can shoot in black-and-white or remove color in editing mode for a different effect. (Cheri Lucas)
Duo Tones.
This experiment in Duo Tones required framing to contain the focal point. My colour choice, yellow, initially bled out of the frame creating a visual distraction. Duo Tones does a better job than the filters I tried in accurately depicting the irregular dimpled flesh of this unripened orange.

Thanks, Gilly. Most of the time, I prefer ‘au naturel’ but every once in a while I like to mess around with post-process freeware just to see what happens.

I think Duo Tones is very effective. The orange looks eerily illuminated from within, while the leaf seems to glow from the reflected light of the orange. Very cool!
