Selective coloring... my take

runner10

Some like it, most don't. I like it. Here's my take...

#1 Clogged filter


#2 Cool Shades


#3 Shallow


#4 Slow Down


#5 Spa Entrance


Comments welcome...
Thanks for looking.

I belong to the some that like it.....Great job, good composition and I like all of them...... azzaro

I presume they are taken in color, and then its processed out?

I like the clogged drain quite a bit... I like it more the more I look at it.

Spa entrance probably has the least strength- it looks like a test case, whereas the others look more - intentional?

I think cool shades is technically well done. Crispness is nice

Shallow threw me for a minute, because it seemed like the water retained a blue cast, it took a minute to realize it had been B+W'd. I think it could be greyed out a little more- the texture carries the feeling of water, so it could lose some hue.

not a big fan but like it best in 1, 3 and 4

in those images, it adds something for me, in image 2 and 4 the selective coloring has become a subject of its own rather than a means of strengthening the story behind the photo/composition. hope i conveyed it clearly, english is not my first language so it sometimes gets a bit hard to express myself .

Hi Chuck, you chose well the areas you select to be colour,
can often make or take away from the image itself.

These are excellent examples of how Selective Colour can make that shot something special.

Great work, you should be really pleased with these

Thanks for sharing .... Skippy

Heaven and Earth is a totally cool shot.

the Cop shot is pretty awesome as well.

I think Thirst Quenched's thunder is stolen a little by how loud his shirt's logo is, but its a total commercial anyway

I like all of these, but numbers 1, 3, 4, and 9 really stand out for me. And much like Stagehand, I, too, keep going back to number 1.

Excellent images. Thank you for sharing.
