hmmm the title might sound a bit commanding, but it's what i titled this pic, so it makes sense. This is my second attempt at selective coloring, the picture itself was taken in China while I was teaching there last year. Any comments are appreciated, especially regarding the use of the selective coloring. Thanks guys.

I've never been a fan of selective coloring, and it doesnt work too well for me here, although I can see why you would use it. I love the shot and would like to see an all B&W version

i agree...all b&w.

Yep...it's just not working here. The saturation of the boys clothing is too high and the contrast in his head is too low.
I agree this shot would probably have more impact as a straight BW.

ask and you shall receive...

I agree about the problem with the face, it just didn't quite match up right with the rest of the pic.

Well, here's an all black and white version, all comments on this are welcome, and also this can be OTE if you guys want to play around with it.
