Split Tone Ghosts (or Aliens?) by taffy

Split Tone Ghosts (or Aliens?)

Third posting from photos taken on Saturday night at the Harry 'Bus' Yourell Aeration Station outing Saturday night (see http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-04-20). Processed today (the 22nd). The ghosts/aliens were friendly so no one was worried. We communicated by motion until they faded away from our view.

Photo notes: Taken with long exposure while someone had neon curled tubes 'dance' across the path, under a tunnel.
Processing notes: When viewed originally, the image was extremely dark (needed wider aperture). Brought up images via exposure and levels tool. Applied split tones with Aperture enhance - black in the blue range, gray in the green range and white in the yellow range. Did not desaturate first despite tutorial.
great shot Taffy, now I have to find myself some neon tubes,

@olivetreeann Anne -- I hadn't seen the Chihuly in this before, but it does have the feeling -- I think because of the colors.
@fishy @jodimuli @steampowered @ruthhill75 @gerry THank you so much Andrew, Jodi, Paul, Ruth, and Gerry, for faving this. It is so odd that I wasn't sure how anyone would view it and I really appreciate your positive response.

Thank you all for your wonderfully supportive comments and for your favs. It's so wonderful to feel that the things I'm learning are leading to more interesting photos to post. I'm sorry for not replying individually -- I used the time to view your photos instead as I'm facing some unusually time-consuming work deadlines. Many thanks!
