I'm normaly not a fan of selective coloring, but I really did like yours. Maybe because it was'nt so over the top.

These are really remarkable and definitely uses the effect to the max without overpowering.
LOVE them!

OK----Now, in VERY VERY simple steps, how do you do this? What program is the easiest?

This is the way I did mine in Photoshop CS5.
Open file and make two copies. Turn off the locked layer and highlight the first copy.
Go to Image, Adjustments, Hue/Saturation. Click on Colorize and then turn that copy to black/white, then turn that layer off.
Highlight the top copy, use the Quick Select Tool to outline the object you want colored. Refine the edges. This will give you the colored object with no background.
Turn on the black/white layer and you have it.
No doubt there are easier ways to do this, but this is how I do it.

I have PS Elements 8. I am having a hard time figuring out how to do much of anything with it! I tried the selective color once before, and it took such a long time! I guess I need somone to sit down with me, and lead me thru it step by step!

The way I do it, in any program that does layers, make a copy of the original then a second copy of it. On the top layer, use whatever you progam does to make a black and white copy. With the b&w layer on top, zoom in on the area you want to be colored and carefully take your erase tool and erase. The colored layer below will show through... the closer you zoom in the easier it is to get all the edges clean. Good luck and please post a photo when you get one done....would love to see it.

My Canon G10 had this feature built right in. I no longer have this camera and miss it. Here are some samples...
