My First Selective Color

BridgeCity

I just got CS last night so I was playing around with Andy's selective color tutorial. This is what I came up with. Yes, I know this is very simple and probably not very effective, but I was fairly proud of the results. Do you think this works?

I think it works well, I like how the eye is led down to the sign, with the pictures composition. My only thought is that maybe the b+w is a teeny bit bright? Might have a more contrasted effect if the b+w layer was fooled with a bit. I thought about seeing if you could try to keep the yellow on the center lines as well, but it looks like they're covered in salt or sand. I really do like the photo, makes me want to lean right into it.....

Thanks for the comments! The stuff on the ground was ash from a recent eruption of Mt St. Helens. I will play around with the BW layer and see what I get
