Found this poor fellow on the side of the road one Saturday morning in Heidelberg. Rough night I think.
What do you think?

I like how you dessaturated the rest of the photo to make the bike stand out.

I was wondering how peoples do to change the picture in black and white except for one object, like the red scooter.
I like this photograh, good composition. |

I think the you should have picked the poor bugger up and fixed him a drink. Mornings like that for any two-wheeled form of transport is decidedly unpleasant.
BTW, EXCELLENT shot! the redness of the bike is superb, and it's a damn shame you took the picture this week for it would have been a total star in this weeks challenge. |

Thanks for the feedback.
gaug2... do you have Photoshop?
If so, magnify your image a bit and use the Polygon Lasso tool and draw an enclosed line around the object you want to retain colour (in the case, the Vespa). When you are finished outlining the object, click on "Layers", then "New" then "Layer from copy". This will create a new layer from only the outline of the Vespa.
Now make a second Layer of your complete image and de-saturate it.
Take the Vespa layer and place it over the other layers. Done.
Have fun, and thanks again. |

Not bad at all! The second one kicks butt.
There's one other trick I forgot to mention...
Sometimes it's necessary to use the "Blur" tool on the edges of the top Layer. This will blend it into the background a little nicer as it removes bright artifacts (pixels) from the edge of your top layer.

Excellent shot roddy! I love the contrast! I've also tried this technique on a couple of my shots that i've added in my portfolio.

Wouldn't it be easier to make a selection around what you want to keep in color and invert the selection, then desaturate all but your selection? Thats how i did this one.

| Are there advantages, Roddy, to doing it your way? She has a point... |

Shutterfly's technique is superior! Fewer steps. I just tried it myself and it works beautifully. Thanks for the tip. ;)
Great examples Jovi, Wendy and jrs...
