This my first effort at selective colour in Gimp. I made some mistakes namely colouring in the pole as part of my leg but - it was tough. I should have tried a simpler shape perhaps. I used the Gimp -tutorial on selective colour -followed it and all in all it took about an hour. However, I do now wished I had smiled in the picture. Face like thunder. Original was a 15seconds shot to try and get a busy car trail behind me but I soon discovered that it became over exposed due to the camera's limitations.
For selective focus I set my phone on the table and adjusted the focal point over my phone so that it would focus on it and blur out everything else in the photo.
Using flash is often a no-no for photographers, but it does have some cool visual estethics in my opinion!

Today is February 15th and winter seems as endless as ever.
About once a week we get a few hours of sunshine, that's it. For the rest of the week it is grey skies, clouding our moods and judgement.
Here's wishing for spring and the playful rays of sunlight!
P.s. I had one of my first photographer blunders today: I ran out of batteries after my fifth shot. As many times as I've been advised, told and ordered to always remember to check the batteries, I should really be ashamed of myself! Still, I can't help feeling a little more like a real photographer after having had this happen to me :)
