1st attempt at selective color.

Edges need some work but I did it on my laptop without a mouse...

Sorry, but the selective coloring ruins an otherwise wonderful photo, here.
The moment you've captured is so beautiful, I'm not sure why you are
diverting the viewer's attention away from it to the relatively unimportant
toys, which aren't the main theme of the image.

Thanks for your opinion, that's what I posted it for. I know the selective color isn't for everyone but I thought I'd give it a shot and thought the trucks would be a good place to try it out. thanks again

I think selective coloring very rarely works, because: one, it's been done to
death, especially in recent years when it's become so easy to do by anybody,
and two, because to work it requires a very specific type of image. I don't think
this one is it, even though I can understand the enthusiasm and curiosity which
led you to try it. But hey, there are tons of people who like the effect, so take
my opinion for what it is, just one opinion of one hack.

Here it is before the coloring..

And that, my friend, is a timeless image. I love it.

I like it. But I like selective coloring too. To each their own I suppose.
