I rarely take images of people in the street, but
this guy, who seemed to be a "local," caught my eye.
Thought I'd finish the image by spotlighting him
in color, and everything else in black and white.
Hope you enjoy.

Nice work, Tim. This is a case where this process worked very well.
Thanks so much, Carol, and I totally agree
with your assessment. Using only black and
white, he didn't stand out, and all color, he
definitely got "lost." So appreciate your
compliment.

Selective color, when it works, can be quite dramatic. I think this is an instance where it worked out quite well. Nice subject and treatment... did you use Color Range to highlight the guy, or some other process? Would appreciate some info on that...

Thank you, Tommy, for your kind words and am glad you liked this image.
I also agree that color can really make the subject matter stand out. I'm not a "street" photographer by any sense of the imagination, but I know most "street" scenes are captured in black and white. For this image, the gentleman would have gotten lost using B&W...even more than he was in the original, full color version.
I started with a color version, imported into Photoshop Elements Editor v2019, then made my normal editing, saved it, then opened a second layer and opened the same image, converted it to B&W, and put that in the new layer. At that point, simply erase the area you want to bring the color back.
That program also has "Guided" tab where, after you open the original image, you can choose the "Black & White" tab and then scroll down to the "Black and White Color Pop" where you can choose the color you want to bring back. Then, you can also select other areas in the image that you want to add the color back.
Hope this helps.
