I am working on selective color, slowly, blindly. This time I used only the Blacks, Whites, Neutrals. Clearly it makes a big difference. Clearly, also, it is not something you learn to do overnight.

This is what I learned:
1. Damn, this is hard.

I think this is your best selective color- you really brought the detail that would otherwise have been lost. I think part of it is knowing which photos it will work well with.

good job bringing back the contrasts with selective color... the coloring can be seen as falling into the murky region where different people have different tastes, but i personally like it over the original. For more practice with selective color try the 'making skies bluer' section in the original assignment post. best of luck.

ps - you seem to be getting it :-)

It does look somewhat better, but I am inclined to think that it is more due to the inreased contrast than selective color. I sort of prefer the color scheme to the original - maybe some curves work would really make it pop?

That's pretty much what I've learned as well. It is hard. You did a great job bringing out the details in this photo and the color is much more pleasing to my eye.
