My photographic goals are almost always documentary and this set is somewhat of a departure. I played with these in the NIK collection using Color Efex Pro4 Bi-color filters.

These are all beautiful. I love the treatment in 2 and 4.

There must be something in the air because I've seen a lot of creative pp in Gallery the past couple of days. So fun and inspiring! Your last image is my favorite, Phil, for the delicate subtlety. On the other hand, I love the golden colors of #2 too

Thanks Linda, this kind of play is helped a lot by starting with a graceful subject.

I really like what you did with #3 but he is standing on the bottom of the frame. Could use a little air under the branch.

Thank you for the comment fergmark. You have a good eye, I struggled with the issue of space below the branch and ended up picking that shot for the for the color. The original framing did not leave much room at the bottom. Here are some alternates where I squeezed a little more room out of the bottom of the frame. I appreciate you visit.

That little bit more makes a good difference. These two versions are beautiful. If I could only have one, I would probably pick the first. Those colors are to die for.
