    Taken behind the fish processing plant in St. Mary’s, Newfoundland during the off-season.
    This is the only shot I’ve ever taken with the intent of using selective colouring in post processing. When I was taking the picture, I popped up the built in flash and put my finger in front of it to enhance the reds a little. The bright red glare that you see there is the reflection of the flash blasting through my finger. To me it kind of looks like there’s a light blinking inside the box.

Would you have pressed it?

    great color contrast. This photo is really wicked! I like the darker hues in the box – they do well in making the red stand out. cool idea making some of the grunge that red too!

    Cool selective colour image. the ‘grunge’ looks like blood….could have been the result of the last person pressing the button…....

    the red plays trick with your eyes – to me it looks like the red in the box is pulsating
