7 March
Japan

A friend of mine is going to work in Japan for a year, teaching English. I took this photo late last night and photoshoped it today to make into a card to wish her luck. I'm not sure that the toning works but I've run out of time so it will have to do!

Update: Pbase is being a pain tonight - I can't seem to leave comments on others' photos. I'll be back!

There's something "martial" here... Nice.

I think the toning is great! Books like this make a great subject...especially with the unexpected red dot :) Well done!
Guest 08-Mar-2005 22:00
Another admirer of that red spot (sun?)

I like the red dot... really gives this pop. I wonder if your freind is going under the JET program run by the Japanese embassy. Whatever, I'm sure it will be a great experience.

Excellent,Gail. I like how the red just pops! Perfect to symbolize Japan!

I like the positioning of the books especially the "Oxford Starting Japanese" The red dot is neat.

I like it Gail, your trademark "red" is a nice highlight!
Guest 07-Mar-2005 22:28
cool idea - works really well. Nice personal touch on a leaving card as well..
Guest 07-Mar-2005 22:15
That's pretty neat! I was actually looking into doing that kind of post-processing for my images too. Neat looking =)

Nice job in photoshop - it works really well.
Guest 07-Mar-2005 21:44
I love that you've left the red spot in colour and the rest B&W. Works well.
