How do you do this?

My guess is that you have to start with a pretty highly saturated, not so contrasty image so the colors stand up well to being pushed.
 
*****that's ok*****

I hope you don't mind, I don't personally like the crossed up look in portraiture. If you don't like it that will make two of us and I will take it down. :) mike
 
Might be easier to try with the original if you wanted to play. :)

I tried with these two also but didn't get it again.

Traveller - I did try to make it highly saturated first but then the face looks all creepy. And I don't know how to fix that other than contrasting it then turning the saturation back down some.
Her images do have blown out areas bu tI know they're not supposed to be like mine ended up. :x
 
Oh yeah. Allsmiles - I totally stole your post but I figure we both liked it so maybe when you get to this I'll have it figured out for us! But on my own, it;s doubtful.. LOL
 
Here's My Go:

The original is far, far better than the oversaturated overly contrasty post processing. Sorry, this is an example of photo editing software being used to ruin a perfectly good photo.

Agree. High saturation is not always a good thing. (thinks: b&w rules!)
 
LOL guys, I'm glad you like the original. :)

This image doesn't have the vibrant colours to make such impact as the lady on that website.
Over doing these more mute colours just makes it look wierd.
 
You're right. I need to try to take a picture with this particular technique in mind. ;)
