BW+Color Reflections

[Nicole Michelle]

Mainly I am wanting to know what others think of this BW+Color usage, but any other tips on how I could improve it would be appreciated.

I think if you brightened it a bit and then added some contrast it would help.

The concept is a good one - but I am not sure why - but it is not doing it for me in this particular shot.

I agree. It's an interesting concept, but it needs a little extra oomph. At first, it's not completely obvious that the top is B&W and the bottom is color...

Try adding some contrast and see what happens.

Very nice idea, but the effect is so subtle that I barely noticed it. I agree: try increasing the saturation and-or contrast a bit.

Also, I am seeing a lot of grain in the photo -- not sure if it's the compression, but it doesn't look like ISO noise to me.
