September Challenge - Selective colouring. Part Colour part B&W

[Luv2shoot]

That is excellent. I love the two shades of red.

Really sharp engine, Lorell.....nice work!
Grant, that is great!  I, too, love the two shades of red....lovely shot of the young lady!! I did a little black and white printing many years ago, many years ago, but never did any hand coloring....I did use the greys and blacks to fix a few problems on the black and white prints.....but all that was a long time ago.
This one took some time, as selection tool did not want to pick up all the small greens...struggled with it.

Thank you for the kind compliment Lorell & Natalie.
Natalie, Your struggle paid off. There is no evidence of struggle.

Don, love the canoes!
That is a good shot from a by gone era! I wonder if the phone booths were converted to charging stations!
One of the Marlboro men was from South Dakota.
I'm about ready for an adult beverage Don!

Grant, well done, I bet they loved it!
Bee is pretty awesome too!
Landscape very subtle but good interest!
Nice panel delivery shot. In my era.
Pizza place is awesome!
The cherry and the hair color plus the composition make for an awesome photo! Well done!


Natalie, nice! Good idea! Raggedy Andy/Ann really pops! Good frame!
Cool train!
I agree with Lorell on the spider. Looks like he/she is just getting started on the web.
I like the pickup, well done!
Very delicate mushroom!
The fruit and violet flower plus the desaturated table and BG make for an amazing photo. I bet this would print up to an amazing wall hanger for a restaurant!

Dave, beautiful job on the hummer photo!
Wonder butterfly, really pops out!
Cherry tomatoes, neat idea!
Glad you found your marbles, good one!

Lorell, Terrific composition on the bike photo. People really add to it!
Your "distracted" photo makes me wonder what he is photographing! Pole really pops!
Church is interesting, looks like paint is peeling off. Nice fall colors. You spent some time on the leaves on the ground by the front door too!
A beautiful engine well done!

I hope I didn't miss one! After all that I think it is getting close to happy hour!

One for the road!
Hand colored.

Thanks for the wonderful critique, Rich!!
LOVE your hand colored crayons! Well done!

The struggle with the clematis and berries and lemons was the stems.....on the leaves.....Selection tool missed a lot of them.....had to take my tablet and choose a lot of them manually....some images are easy to select....this bird is another problem one....feathers (and hairs) are hard to select.)  I got some practice with photoshops selection tools...

HOW did I miss this thread?!!
Wow! It would take me a year to comment on all the great samples here, but there is a LOT of artist Skill in this small group here!
All of these are amazing!

Thanks Natalie! You did a might fine job of selecting the hair. Here is some info on the process.

Don, everything is perfect! Composition, exposure and the addition of the color. Well done! Or as they say in the Navy, "Bravo Zulu"

Patty, no, it only takes an hour, now get to work!
