The results of my scatter-gun approach to the yellow challenge are here. I am guessing (do to a lack of comments) that my entry was either not yellow enough, you just too boring, to get a better score.

My Yellow shot, Rising Sun, received mixed reviews. I could not achieve the finished image that I wanted to use within the rules of the challenge.
Rising Sun II is the finised version of the shot.
I could not achieve the desaturation within the rules. The second version was done with two layers, removing everything but the egg yolk from the top layer...
I had fun with this particular shot. It's a little outside my normal shooting mode :)
Congrats to everyone on some great shots in the yellow challenge :)

John,
I really like the second one (Rising Sun II). Awesome! I'm sure that would have done excellent in the challenge.

text Rising sun II is much more striking! Pity you couldn't enter it!

John, actually you could have achieved it with Selective color and replace color in PS. The Egg yoke would have been a little more yellow and the hand would have been just a tad blown out in areas but still totally do-able. A few curve moves would have pumped the color back up and in anyhow.
I am working under the impression that those modes of desaturation are allowed here because many images recently have been using them.
I really liked your image. The hand looks like it is coming at you and the yoke is defying gravity...

I could not achieve it this way. The lower portion of the egg yolk is taking on red from the light reflections of my hand. Getting rid of the red, or replacing it with some other color was affecting the egg yolk.
Thinking back and knowing that I wanted to achieve the desaturation on just the hand, I should have approached the photo a little differently probably...

John, is it not possible to remove all colours except yellow (in PS) to obtain the result of the finished shot?
Never mind, I just read the other comment....

You are right it wasn't very interesting. Keep shooting though, you had a great picture, now you just need to make the voters say wow.

Kevin -
Your picture was a good enough shot, but I think, like you said - the subject itself wasn't an attention grabber. I've learned with these things you have a few seconds to "wow" the viewer - if the "wow" factor isn't there, I never seem to do as well. I did REALLY like the shot that you had where you included some yellow foreground - it had more than one focal point to it that keeps the viewer's eye busy.
