Maybe not exactly what you had in mind Marc, but this is where my "creative" eye took me. I'm a sucker for selective color shots, ever since Marc taught me how to do it (lol, thanks!) and the idea came from him. I played with diffuse glow, saturation, and several blur effects on semi-transparent layers to create the effect. Yes, it's the same photo as the full color, as well as the b/w version, but it's popular! ;)
Thoughts?
Hope you like it Marc! LOL. I know it's not EXACTLY what you suggested, but it's along the (very thin) line lol. :)
Against Germany, with exception of participation in the 1945 incendiary attack on Dresden, the U.S. restricted it's self to daylight "precision" bombing raids using high explosives the objective of this was to avoid unnecessary civilian deaths. However, against the Japanese people the United states officials openly announced they were in favor of the "extermination of the Japanese people in toto"- their preferred method was night time saturation bombing by mass aircraft dropped incendiaries to create "firestorms" in which large numbers of non-combatants were deliberately cremated. During the "Great Tokyo Fire Raid" of March 9-10, 1945, to give one example, over 267,000 buildings were obliterated, 1million made homeless, and 100,000 burned alive.
More Japanese civilians were killed in just 6 months time than those killed in all the branches of the Japanese military during the entirety of World War II.

Appeal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Aerial Bombardment of Civilian Populations, September 1, 1939
The President of the United States to the Governments of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and His Britannic Majesty, September 1, 1939
The ruthless bombing from the air of civilians in unfortified centers of population during the course of the hostilities which have raged in various quarters of the earth during the past few years, which has resulted in the maiming and in the death of thousands of defenseless men, women, and children, has sickened the hearts of every civilized man and woman, and has profoundly shocked the conscience of humanity.
If resort is had to this form of inhuman barbarism during the period of the tragic conflagration with which the world is now confronted, hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings who have no responsibility for, and who are not even remotely participating in, the hostilities which have now broken out, will lose their lives. I am therefore addressing this urgent appeal to every government which may be engaged in hostilities publicly to affirm its determination that its armed forces shall in no event, and under no circumstances, undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations or of unfortified cities, upon the understanding that these same rules of warfare will be scrupulously observed by all of their opponents. I request an immediate reply.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Draft Rules of Aerial Warfare, The Hague, February 1923
RULES OF AERIAL WARFARE
The Hague, February 1923
[Although drafted as the basis for an international treaty, the enactment of which was supported by the United States, these rules were never formally adopted]
[excerpts]
ARTICLE XXII
Aerial bombardment for the purpose of terrorizing the civilian population, of destroying or damaging private property not of military character, or of injuring non-combatants is prohibited.
ARTICLE XXIII
Aerial bombardment for the purpose of enforcing compliance with requisitions in kind or payment of contributions in money is prohibited.
ARTICLE XXIV
(1) Aerial bombardment is legitimate only when directed at a military objective, that is to say, an object of which the destruction or injury would constitute a distinct military advantage to the belligerent.
(2) Such bombardment is legitimate only when directed exclusively at the following objectives: military forces; military works; military establishments or depots; factories constituting important and well-known centres engaged in the manufacture of arms, ammunition or distinctively military supplies; lines of communication or transportation used for military purposes.
(3) The bombardment of cities, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings not in the immediate neighborhood of the operations of land forces is prohibited. In cases where the objectives specified in paragraph 2 are so situated, that they cannot be bombarded without the indiscriminate bombardment of the civilian population, the aircraft must abstain from bombardment.
(4) In the immediate neighborhood of the operations of land forces, the bombardment of cities, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings is legitimate provided that there exists a reasonable presumption that the military concentration is sufficiently important to justify such bombardment, having regard to the danger thus posed to the civilian population.
(5) A belligerent state is liable to pay compensation for injuries to person or to property caused by violation by any of its officers or forces of the provisions of this article.
ARTICLE XXV
In bombardment by aircraft, all necessary steps must be taken by the commander to spare as far as possible buildings dedicated to public worship, art, science, or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospital ships, hospitals and other places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided such buildings, objects, or places are not at the time used for military purposes. Such buildings, objects, and places must by day be indicated by marks visible to aircraft. The use of marks to indicate other buildings, objects, or places than those specified above is to be deemed an act of perfidy. The marks used as aforesaid shall be in the case of buildings protected under the Geneva Convention the red cross on a white background, and in the case of other protected buildings a large rectangular panel divided diagonally into two pointed triangular portions, one black and the other white.
A belligerent who desires to secure by night the protection for the hospitals and other privileged buildings above mentioned must take the necessary measures to render the special signs referred to sufficiently visible.
Protection of Civilian Populations Against Bombing From the Air in Case of War, League of Nations, September 30, 1938
PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN POPULATIONS AGAINST BOMBING FROM THE AIR IN CASE OF WAR
Unanimous resolution of the League of Nations Assembly,
September 30, 1938.
The Assembly,
Considering that on numerous occasions public opinion has expressed through the most authoritative channels its horror of the bombing of civilian populations;
Considering that this practice, for which there is no military necessity and which, as experience shows, only causes needless suffering, is condemned under the recognised principles of international law;
Considering further that, though this principle ought to be respected by all States and does not require further reaffirmation, it urgently needs to be made the subject of regulations specially adapted to air warfare and taking account of the lessons of experience;
Considering that the solution of this problem, which is of concern to all States, whether Members of the League of Nations or not, calls for technical investigation and thorough consideration;
Considering that the Bureau of the Conference for the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments is to meet in the near future and that it is for the Bureau to consider practical means of undertaking the necessary work under conditions most likely to lead to as general an agreement as possible:
I. Recognizes the following principles as a necessary basis for any subsequent regulations:
1) The intentional bombing of civilian populations is illegal;
2) Objectives aimed at from the air must be legitimate military objectives and must be identifiable;
3) Any attack on legitimate military objectives must be carried out in such a way that civilian populations in the neighbourhood are not bombed through negligence;
II. Also takes the opportunity to reaffirm that the use of chemical or bacterial methods in the conduct of war is contrary to international law, as recalled more particularly in the resolution of the General Commission of the Conference for the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments of July 23rd 1932, and the resolution of the Council of May 14th, 1938.
Here is an HDR I created with Photomatix Pro 3.1.1. Near default settings were used but smoothing was turned to -2 and saturation for shadows was taken down to -30. I finished up the shot in Adobe Lightroom 2.2 to convert to grayscale by reducing the saturation of all colors except orange, red, and aqua, which were boosted in saturation.
On the eastern side of Esplanade stands a spectacular building in Baroque style, complete with domes, pediments, balconies & clock tower. Known as the Metropolitan Building it once housed Calcutta's (Kolkata's) leading departmental stores and was known as the Whiteway Laidlaw Building.
Repaired recently the Metropolitan Building still stands as an important landmark overlooking the crowded Chowringhee. Today the ground floor is occupied by the Central Cottage Industry Showroom and the Big Bazar, whose innumerable red & blue banners have robbed the Metropolitan Building of its beauty & grace. The upper floors are occupied by innumerable tenants residing in box like quarters.
Here the Metropolitan Building (Whiteway Laidlaw Building) is seen with another Calcutta's (Kolkata's) landmark the Yellow Ambasador Taxi.

May: 2015.
I was in the town centre today and tried out a street scene capture..after i took the shot i explained to both ladies i wasn't spying on them and hope they didn't mind been captured in the shot...you have to be careful these days, especially when your pointing a camera at strangers in public!..anyway they didn't feel uncomfortable.:)
processing method: using gimp,qtpfsgui,windows microsoft visual studio 2010.
I Opened gimp 2.8, ,used the clone tool to clean up certain areas of the image,added the soft focus tool from the fx foundry, exported the image saved as JPG.
As with all my previous hdr uploads i duplicated image x3 the 1st (original) duplicate i kept as normal, 2nd duplicate image i used the levels tool and adjusted the level from the middle to the left of the graph to 0.5 to make the image "Underexposed". next, opened 3rd image used levels tool & adjusted from the middle again to the right of the graph to 5.0 to make the image "Overexposed", next i opened Qtpfsgui free hdr software and loaded in the images as followed. 1. Original, 2.Under exposed, 3. Overexposed. clicked hdr tonemapping button,saved image as JPG, then opned up microsoft visual studio 2010, clicked auto edit, to bring out the colour & tones of the image, then closed to save.
Next i reopened Gimp, loaded the image, then followed the tutorial.
www.gimp.org/tutorials/Selective_Color/
the only additional editing i did after following the tutorial, was
adding a vignette radius set at 1.50,next i exported and saved it as JPG,
I've driven past these old-style pumps a thousand times, and always thought they'd make a good subject for a few photos. I had fun playing around with the processing!
Sony A7R II
Minolta 50mm F2.8 Macro lens
I've been having fun lately with closeup work, the macro world always is full of great subjects. Here I added on 12 mm of extension for a unique close in look at this gorgeous viola in our backyard.
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
This set is a photo project I did for school along with my artist statement.
About Photography Peeves
This photo series is a combination of things that many photographers do in their work that irks me. With this series, I am being blatant. I am going beyond deep meaning or rather not going deep at all, but staying at the realistic view of things.
I felt that writing the words on paper would portray the most realism, since I want to make a few points here. With the train track photographs, you see the train tracks in the image, but with the word “cliche” added, it really puts it into perspective that I am mocking the use of the train tracks. Having the word in my hands as a physical element says so much more to me than just a word that is photoshopped onto an image.
When you see these images, I want you to agree with me and say, “Selective color really is cheesy!”, or realize that comfortable lounge chairs from your living room in the middle of a random field are not unique (because it is overused and doesn’t makes sense), but actually are really convenient! “Why yes! I would love to sit in this conveniently placed lounge chair in this random field that has possibly fallen from the sky!” If I am being brutally honest, to me, those types of images are plain stupid.
When I see watermarks on images, I see “Hey look, I am a ‘professional’ photographer. I’m a business. Buy my photography.” The mark takes away from the original intent of the art and becomes a marketing technique that has been abused and misused so many times that the process is now seen as almost unprofessional. In my photograph mocking the watermarks, I wanted to make sure the word was big and distracting of what is behind it. I am most irritated by “photographers” who have the equipment but know nothing about how to use it. I presented this idea in the photograph reading “SLR?” I have a friend who owns a dSLR, she knows not what it means, she knows only of the auto setting, and people call her a photographer because she takes pictures with her “fancy” camera. I am sincerely devoted to my work and both being compared as a photographers is insulting. Coming off as superior is the last thing I want to portray with these statements. It is the ignorance of people not knowing what amazing technology they are holding and what they are capable of by using it correctly, yet still calling themselves something that I am not even sure I am comfortable yet calling myself, a photographer.
I want to make a point that may or may not be correct, but it is where I stand. These things that many photographers do actually hurt the viewer’s response rather than help it.
I had a little fun with this one. Originally, I was only going to do selective color on the Poincettias, but decided to pick out a few other things to pop some vivid tones into the pic. I'm not usually a big fan of sepia, but the daguerreotype filter did a nice job with it, and offered the eraser tool which allowed me to choose the color I wanted. I was shooting for an aged feel, without sacrificing the life of the shot for it.
In this pic, the library can be seen on the right, in between the gazebo, which is adjacent to the entrance, and the "road to Bongoland" path that leads past the Masters' Garden. I've been trying to give everyone a feel for the place, which isn't easy unless you approach it like a tour, walking from the entrance, and following the progression of the sights along the way.
Most of the time when I used to visit Tigger in here, I went this way first, since his food bowl and water dish were just to the right of this scene, and I would take care of him first, and then go shoot photos, usually with him in tow, hoping for some catnip! Tigger would almost always accompany me all through the gardens unless it was very hot.
Since it was right after the holidays, the colorful Poincettias were still in place all around the front of the gardens. It's a pretty time of year to visit. The only thing missing is some orange stripes....
You can use Selective Color in Photoshop, which is a powerful tool for color correction.
The tutorial is here: photoshopper27.blogspot.com/2011/04/selective-color-for-c...
experiment continued!
have replaced this pic, this is done after correcting the color cast,
thanks to Sid bhai for the inputs.

Selective laser melting is an AM process that uses a laser to selectively melt and fuse sections of a layer of powder onto a substrate. After each layer is fused, the substrate is retracted vertically, another even layer of powder is spread across the top, and the process repeats.
The path of the laser is determined by a CAD model that is sliced into layers less than 100µm thick using specialist software. Selective laser melting takes place in a vacuum chamber filled with inert gas, to prevent oxidisation of the powder. Unused powder can be recycled and used for the next build.

Yep! I had to dust it off and then remember how to set on Manual mode - 'selective' soft light curve. #cy365 #captureyour365
My daughter wanted nothing more than to just get on with our errands. But I caught her sitting in the grass and had to get some shots of her. As you can see, she was not very happy about it. I prefer contemplation to contempt (especially towards me!).
textures added (skeletalmess) and used a couple of Coffeeshop actions on it. Denim and then on another copy of this I used selective coloring. Piled them all together and tweaked a few things and got what I wanted more or less. May revisit this one and take more time with it.
