I like these type shots, really cool stuff!   

I wish I knew how to do that,    maybe one day.

Peace!

You can find the steps in page 1 and 3 in this thread. Otherwise you'll find many good videos on youtube under selective colors.

I saw this topic after looking through all the galleries.  This is a hard area, but it can work in some circumstances.  Here is my favorite from all my selective color shots.

I like this! Great shot overall

Cat!

I agree with some of the others.  I think it's most tasteful when done with a minimalist approach...

Here I think I could have gone just a tad more with the red on the roof but I didn't want to lose the old, nostalgic feeling I was trying to achieve.  The flag I think I'm okay with, maybe a tad more there too...

Cat!

Yep, that's pretty cool!

In addition to being an awsome picture in itself, I think this really works here. I did use this technique for a webillustration I (something like; where is your place? to the students).

++1 on the chairs!

I think the B&W with selective thing tends to get overused. The only reason I think it works in my shot of the cat is due to the way the sun beams fell across her eyes already.

The first image was made at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, and the second in a sunflower field near my house.

Several cool shots popping up here!

I like the sunflower, but you have not been precise enough you see color on the side and other placea in the image
