Here we are:

The Rules:
1. Lr Rule 5 - Enjoy

2. The Usual stuff:

All work must be done in either ACR or LR except for cropping, sharpening and using your noise filter. You can make some MINOR changes in PSE/CS3 if you want. If you use a preset, please list the name and a link to the source if you have that information. Also, if you'd like, please describe your workflow. [Or not, but fess up and tell us what you did.]

Finally got sometime to play tonight, Michel. On this one I just played and played with the sliders.

Michel,

Nice ones, like Suzi, the statue caught my fancy first.

Excellent start, Suzi and John!
For the 'Toy story', since most of them are from the seventies, I try to get an idea of the photographic style of that time. Conversion in ACR, grain added in PSE6.

Number 2 - the toys. Tried for a high contrast b&w and then added a split tone. Having trouble with this lately - can't seem to bring it out - may be the "wrong" image to try on or ? ? ?

Anyway:

John, I have the same problem to find adequate subjects for split-toning. I'll have to spend more time in selection.

Suzi, I like the effect of contrasting two ranges of colors: warm and neutral/bluish. Excellent idea!
