41 Fun Selective-Colour Photographs

By on in Cool Photos, Featured[ 12 Comments ]

Using selective colour is a post production technique for isolating part of a photograph with a splash of colour and contrasting it black and white in the other areas of the image. You can use it to draw the eye or just for a bit of fun. This collection was inspired by last week’s Light Stalking selective colour challenge in the forum which saw a lot of great entries. Check them out here and enjoy this collection too!
