Black & white with a hint of color

I have been going over many of the files I have processed with Lightroom and challenged myself to process a few of them differently just to see how they would turn out. I decided these 2 looked interesting with just a hint of color so I left just a touch in them. What do you think about that?

It was worth the effort... No. 1 especially nice.

I like them both but wonder how you did it. Was it from Photoshop?

Thanks Dennis, I processed both in Lightroom and concentrated on desaturating each color individually except for the colors I wanted to keep.

Thanks. This was one of my first outings with my new Sigma 150-600 zoom and I have to say I am impressed with this lens. I had this zoomed right to 600mm on this shot.

Thanks Montana, I really enjoy B&W images and have selectively used this process to create a different effect.

No. 2 is very good. No. 1 may I suggest darken the highlights & see what happens. Just a thought.

Like them both. Valley4photo has a point. If you bring down the highlights maybe the feathers will show more detail. Still like both images tho.
