There's some really good work in here

Here's one I day at a wedding last year:

I think it's crap, but they loved it

Personally I don't think is that bad, personally I think it would work better if you selected the confetti behind the couple (as if they're the source of attention, colour, happiness, etc living a trail behind them) rather than in front, as it looks a bit as if it's fake confetti, you know what I mean?

At least that's what I would've changed.

I'll have a do

WOW! I love this. Her eyes are so pretty

Don't do selective colouring myself. Must try it some time...

 

[Doog]

I suspect this would be good regardless of how it was presented but it's my favourite so far.

I know alot of people don't like this type of photo processing,but I am quite a fan,love them

 

[TheOneShot]

i'm using ELEMENTS 9

Could i just ask how you do selective colours with elements 9??
I had the software for some time but i haven't discovered its true potential, you could say.

 

[TheOneShot]

Selective coloring is great, i use it a lot in art. photography not so much

She does have amazingly blue eyes

I suspect this would be good regardless of how it was presented but it's my favourite so far.

It was from a green screen shoot with Hollie, i was amazed how the hair detail came out....

Cheers for the comments

I noticed that, my excuse: I'm colour blind, no problems with red, so at least I know what I'm selecting hehe
