I'm not usually a fan of selective coloring, but I thought this helped bring out my idea, curious to hear anyone's thoughts

    I like everything about it save one: it is not last, it is alone! :(

    Course...you could title it lone survivor! :)

    ....and you need to get very ( more) selective with the coloring.

    Really like it - & the caboose is (was) always the last car on any train, so I think it fits the theme perfectly!

    BINGO!!!! That was my thought, I was hoping to find one on the train and track, but they seem to be becoming extinct! Thanks for your input!

    Yes. It could be these old-er eyes ( or the small-ish example), but it appears to me that there is some color on the branches of the tree. Simply thinking if it is selective, lt should be Caboose only, no tree parts.

    No matter what you choose to do in the end, this is a really nice shot and a place where further exploration could be enchanting.

    Great idea! I do think you have to tweak the processing a smidge to perfect the selective coloring as was already suggested.

    I also agree that the caboose is the last car so your title works, though for some who may not know about the caboose being the official last car, a title change could help.

    Thanks Tom, if I do end up with this, I will be cleaning it up, I see what you are talking about, it's not your eyes:D
