well..personally speaking, I have never been a fan of B&W, and I don't think either shooting in, or converting to B&W works for very many pictures at all. (this is of course, the same opinion many people have on selective coloring)
and yet, gsgary and the_traveler have shown me that sometimes, I just have to push through my natural prejudice against B&W and admit that a photo is in fact, just plain well executed.

my point is...just because something has become a cliche, or has been vastly overdone, (and usually poorly) does NOT mean someone cannot use that technique to produce a good image. if your going to throw selective coloring out the window due to misuse, you should toss sun flare out as well. and brick wall backgrounds. and train tracks. and desaturated images. and dutch tilts. and vignetting. and, well, you get the idea.

And when all those things are thrown out, a sort of photographic perfection is achieved:

MONKEY PICTURES.

Side note....Jeremy Clarkson in the Ariel Atom is the greatest car video ever lol

.Jeremy Clarkson is the biggest prick going, you know he was banned from driving ? for drink driving

But he's the only entertaining thing left on the Telly, besides re-runs of Attenborough

You have got to be joking Top Gear is trash

Well I will have to slightly rephrase it...Top gear is the Most widely watched factual TV program according to Guinness Book
Top Gear drives its way into into Guinness World Records 2013 edition - September - 2012 - Latest World Record News | Guinness World Records

IIRC last autumn(ish) someone posted a selective colour of the orange leaves in a landscape and it was done quite well and was fairly well received, I will have to see if I can track it down.

There was also another one where an old coffee can was red and the cabin was B&W.....the search is on.

Well, this thread has hopefully given the OP enough opinions to help him come to his own conclusions - and has since gone meandering off track.

Closed.
