Our Bird Weekly challenge this week is to use selective color with most of the photo being monochrome, black and white or sepia tone. The challenge for me was to learn how to achieve this effect. It took a little practice but I finally came up with two images I liked.
Above is a male Painted Bunting and below is a Purple Gallinule.
Thanks to Lisa for her Bird Weekly Challenge: Birds using Selective Color

There are several people who use Elements. Marsha and Sarah both do so you can turn to them. I’m thinking I’m going to do a post on Elements before the next challenge because a lot of people use it. š
