Lone Figure by onewing

Lone Figure

What started out as a sunny day ended up with a downpour. Clouded over now and has gone quite humid.

I thought this shot deserved selective colouring because of the nice bright umbrella.

Today's Port Stephens photo

Nice lines and selective colour
March 20th, 2014  
Fantastic shot Babs!
March 20th, 2014  
Great selective colour. Keep meaning to do an umbrella shot, but it just won't rain here. Maybe should get someone holding a hose out of frame!
March 20th, 2014  
Great photo Babs. One day I need to learn how to do that - just show the color in one object.

@annied @steampowered Thanks so much. The walkway is painted yellow and it really clashed with the red and white umbrella so the colour had to go.
March 20th, 2014  
@hermann Not much rain here either. I must check our rain gauge in the morning. Although we had a downpour it didn't last long.

@ianplimmer @jan20 @karlow75 @flyrobin @jennyheath Thanks so much, as I said to Paul and Annie, the walkway was yellow and it really clasked with the red and white umbrella so the colour just had to go to make it work.

@cassiejoy Have you got Photoshop Cassie. There are lots of ways to do selective colouring, but with this one it is relatively easy because the lines are fairly straight. the easiest way with this is to select the umbrella with the quick selection tool, then Select/Inverse and then Image/Adjustments/Black and White and then adjust the b&w to your liking and there you have it.

@kiwiniknak @elaine55 @james_hinwood @cathy366 @ginnykoppenhol @golftragic Thank you all so much and thanks for the favs. I didn't know it was on the PP Marnie, just checked it out, I am gobsmacked!!!
It is a bit of a sad day in a way today, today would have been Zoe's 38th birthday and I think I am going to post a photo of her today. Must go through some and find one suitable.
I am so thankful for 365. Best thing I ever joined. Kept me going through bad times last year and forced me to go out and look for good things in the world. Thank you all so much for your support.
March 23rd, 2014  
My thoughts are with you on this difficult day. Keep going Babs.
