The Power of Dreams

Got a little creative with the choice of color when processing this image. Any comments?

pma,

That's a creative angle and crop, so an unusual color is in line. A little lightening would bring some life to the look, keeping the metallic sheen, just brighter. Nice shot.

I love that one. Makes it look like it was a pic in a studio until you look at the reflection. How did you make it fade to black like that? Is it photoshoped or is that how the picture turned out?

Thanks guys. I made use of the vignetting correction during processing in Lightroom. I instead added the vignetting effect to my advantage. And I like it when photos turn out to almost studio like feel. They really focus you onto the main subject.
