The last time I posted this image we discussed the color version vs the B/W version. I presented it for critique this week in class. A classmate went one step further and inverted the image.
That is actually a crop of the inverted image – this is the entire image:
Some folks told me they found the inverted image unsettling. Several people said it should be cropped. I can report that the more people expressed a preference for the color version. Perhaps because blue and orange are complementary colors?
Does the inverted image bother you? Do you like it? Do you hope I will never show it to you again? *smile*
Thanks for your feedback.

I’m not disturbed by it at all (although I still like the color version – I’d like to see a color version of the invert, in fact). At first glance, this looks like an underwater shot, almost. Very funky.
There you go – the inverted color version, just for you.
Hmmm. Cropped?

Aha. It’s a shame the gold gets cropped out, but I do like this.
Is yellow your favorite color?
It’s one of my favorites.
I vote cropped, color, inverted. Simple and classic.
Thank you for your vote – our accounting firm will be tabulating the votes soon. 🙂
Love this!
