 This lovely bike was a lucky find while shooting some stuff for "postcards". I love how the color of the bike matches the leafs so I tried a selective desat.

It's so hard to choose something for Free Study!

Only basic adjustments: levels, contrast, selective color, sat, selective b&w, ni, sharpening, vignetting

Most excellent use of selective desaturation. It really works well here.

Finally, selective coloring that works. I like the orange here. In the fact that is is all over the picture, yet does not compete with the photo as a whole. I'm giving a highly rated photo...

This is great. I love the grungy look contrasted with those vibrant autumn colors. It adds a touch of beauty to the grunge! Beautifully done!

Love the way the leaves and bike are in yellows and golds, and everything else in black and white. Very effective. Nice positioning, too. 10
