Selective Coloring: Am I on the Right Track?

[RichieTang]

How about you try bringing in a tiny bit amount of color back into everything else in the image?

I could be wrong, but if I brought back a bit of color into everything else, then it wouldn't be SC...

I would say it is. You're selecting some colors to be bright and vivid, and selecting others to be muted and desaturated.

Okay I can sort of agree. This is more of a pure vs leeway argument. Unfortunately I think I'll stick to B&W + coloured subject.
