[alt-photo] Re: Another tricolor...

Well, Paul knows it better for sure (both in terms of the original scene and
how he wanted to depict it), but my comment about (a little strong) blue was
based on the pavement - which I presume is concrete. Here in Turkey (and
wherever I have visited in Europe) concrete is usually neutral gray, can't
speak for the States...

I completely agree with the below comments that both prints are well done /
beautiful and that Paul is doing pretty well. (I like better #2...)

Best regards,
Loris.

I have to agree with Diana about the blues, in fact I meant to comment on
that before in response to a comment  on the earlier one you posted but have
been buried in a project and just didn't get to it.  It's dangerous of
course to draw firm conclusions about color cast from an electronic
reproduction, but I saw no blue cast in that picture (the bricks and
doorways)  at all; if there was a cast  I'd say it had a very slight magenta
cast, but not enough to be concerned about.  If the blue were too strong,
the bricks in the middle couldn't have been the saturated orange that they
are but would be much more neutralized, unsaturated, as a result of the blue

neutralizing the orange.   I love the deep rich colors in both  
prints; you're doing just fine.
