Visit to Ikea

Went shopping today to IKEA. I think IKEA is an iconic shop. With its yellow branding I had to figure out a way to make this my yellow theme entry. I managed to edit this using Serif Craft Artist. Not a proper photo editor, but I am quite pleased with the results. I would really appreciate any feedback on this shot. I am really pushing my boundaries in photography.
IKEA is my wife's obsession. Great SC shot. And fun one for the theme. Welcome to 365

Great idea, and fab selective colour. The editing is great IMO. The only thing I would critique is the background is a tad distracting, but that's not something you could have done much about! I don't know what your aperture was; a wider aperture would reduce the depth of field and blur the background slightly. But as far as the editing goes, great job :)

@hehe1308 I absolutely agree about the background, but I only had on cheapo canon powershot a480 with me. The settings were f/4 ISO 125 and 1/80sec
I think a wider aperature would have improved the shot.
Thankyou for your comments :)

I think the selective colouring is great. I think you should be really pleased with the results. I hope you try it again soon.

I'm not usually a fan of selective colour, but I think it works in this shot. Great job! I agree that the background is too busy, but for a quick snap it's great.
