Those look like flowering crab apples. Similar to what are in my yard that I recently shot!

I've yet to find a photo of the thousands now cluttering this poor laptop, worthy of treating with this method, but here's a different take on it.
The spider was plain and already against a white wall background... couldn't do much with it to make it pop... so here's what I did!
I kinda like it... not exactly done the way it's supposed to be here... but *shrugs*
I'll play tomorrow and post.
Meantime... keep 'em coming! I LOVE this!

I have a different way that may be noted, it is simpler to me. I use a program that de-saturates colors on 8 different color bands so instead of doing all that stuff with the layers, that I haven't a clue how to do, I just take away the colors I don't want and then i use a wand feature to clean up the colors I kept that are not in my subject. Here are a couple of my recent ones....
LOVE that flower one and the wheel with flags is VERY creative, too!
I use a combination of lightroom3 and picasa and occasionally, GIMP2.6 (for layering especially).
Before you mentioned it here... I didn't know about using lightroom to try this!
You can BET I'm gonna now! *snickers*
Thanks :)

Another way I used to do it required you to be rather precise. I would copy the photo, adjust one to B&W, and open both side by side and just use the clone brush to fill the color in. It was the only way i could figure out how to do it when I didnt know, but it worked well.

Thanks for the help!!! Well appreciated!

I bet these would be great for Halloween if you just ad a texture to them. Google Chrome has a great app for that called PicNik...give it a look.

These look like flowering crab apples. I have a tree in my yard and my recent shots look similar!

I tried deleting that. I am a newbie here! Haha!
You can't... *snickers softly*
It's all-good though. The photo is a pretty one, if not a candidate for the topic "selective coloring". :)
You'll get the hang of things soon enough... welcome!

They do look a lot alike don't they. How big was those when you took them? The ones I posed was only about 1/4 inch around. They was quite small...
