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!

good article. To be honest I’m not a huge fan of selective clolour photographs but a lot of clients like the effect. So think it might be worth looking in to.
Like Luke, I’m not a huge fan of selective color but I have played with it before and everyone once in a while you find a photo that just screams “selective color me!”. Nice collection!
