Potential Energy

[fearthepenguin]

Sort of an action shot, more potential then kinetic. This is my first selective colourization, I could use some pointers on the technique as well as the shot.

It looks like you executed the selective colourization pretty well. Maybe take the saturation down a bit though? To me its almost just too much. I generally don't like this processing technique but looking at your photostream I can see why you tried it on this one.

I don't know if you wanted the image as a whole critiqued or just the processing but you didn't freeze the motion (post the exif) and the background is busy (try and move right and get higher to crop out the crap around the right and top of the image).

ahh, I see what you are talking about. I honestly didn't even notice the ropes and junk on the right until you pointed it out. Thanks!
