Ripples of Colour
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 21 March 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
Another one taken down the River Exe, it was a cloudy day so the rest of the shot was quite dull so I felt selective colouring was the way to go!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Very nice Dave, you did a lovely job with the selective colouring, It adds a great splash of colour.

Selective colouring fits perfect here. I like this very much. I'm working on a photo showing a b&w cat with green eyes in the same way. So you can uses the coloured part to focus on details...

I love what you've done with this, it must've been tough getting the reflections.

@drphoto: Not as difficult as it looked, I just copied the canoes and the reflections into a new layer, changed the original layer into B&W, then used the magic eraser on the copied layer! Alot easier than I thought it'd be!

Great shot, the reflections are marvelous and post processing is spot on

I love the reflection in the water and am glad you allowed that to be color as well.
