    i think from the description, its like the picture i posted, a color shot, made to black and white and keeping some color to show it was originally a color shot, so far most havent grasped the idea correctly IMO.

    I guess we all interpret things differently. I have the opposite understanding. Not a shot coverted to black and white, but a full color shot that only contains black and white, but also a give away (area of color) that it's really a color shot. Example - a zebra with red lipstick on. WOW wish I could get that shot!

    That is also my understanding.

    The challenge #61 theme is Black and White in Color. That means a black and white shot taken in color, no photoshop other than the standard enhancements like sharpening and such. The idea is to take a shot that would look like a Black & White with just one small spot of color to indicate it was taken in color.

    The key is the no photoshop phrase. No B&W conversions, no selective coloring.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.
