The adjustments that Mossy is talking about are not about creating a selective coloured object. It is about adjusting the colour which by the guidlines on the site are allowed as per item 6.5 in the guidlines. The tool says 'selective colour' but it means that you boost(saturate) or desat the colour in the image to correct ie. whites. In fact I can say that there is an entry this week that uses this exact method

What Tools/Alterations Can I use?
In general, you should try to avoid editing your photos, whether in camera or with some editing software on a computer. Being a good photographer also means being able to take good shots without having to edit afterwards. We understand that enhancing pictures after the fact has a long tradition in photography and thus we allow for certain digital darkroom techniques, which is readily available in most photo handling software today. As a general rule, you are allowed to all adjustments which act on the whole picture and on exactly one picture (a.k.a. non selective editing). This includes:

- 6.1.: Level
- 6.2.: Curves
- 6.3.: Hue
- 6.4.: Saturation
****- 6.5.: Color adjustments/shifting****
- 6.6.: Brightness
- 6.7.: Contrast
- 6.8.: Gaussian blur
- 6.9.: Noise reduction
- 6.10.: Sharpness
- 6.11.: Crop and rotate
- 6.12.: Lens correction
- 6.13.: Camera raw editing
- 6.14.: Healing brush to remove dust and scratches from a scan or speckles from dust on your camera's sensor
- 6.15.: Duplicated layers
- 6.16.: Layer blending modes

Love the DOF

I'm seeing some colour noise but not pixelated. Nothing that can't be removed with Noise removal software (although probaly at the expense of detail)

Beautiful snake

I think it would be nicer with the blown out sun cropped, you don't really need it in the image to see that it's setting.

Sorry - his antennae ends looked feathery to me - but I wasn't suggesting it was off theme - I was suggesting that moths are on theme because they belong to the same order of insects. Funnily enough, we have the same looking ones over here in Aus but we call the cabbage moths.

I would say that this is not edited in photoshop - simply clever use of bokeh from little lights like those string lights for Christmas trees!

It is a moth. You can tell by the antennae Moths have feathery end to their antennae, butterflies have a thickened club or hook at the end. They all belong to the same insect order Lepidoptera though

I must be really confused because I am right handed but left eye dominant. I do some thing left handed too lol I didn't see the last image but I like the leading line of the fence. It would have been nice if there was a cow or horse or something rural at the end of the leading line

Cool - this must be in Melbourne?

I think that the image adjustments that Mossy has described are acceptable & within the guidlines - the same methods are used for some 'selective colour' entries in other comps.

The focus seems to be on the very top letters in the 'arch' of the window

Love the bokeh too

I would have cropped the bottome flowers off - the highlights are blown. I think it would be more attractive.

Shame about the legs - would have prferred to see the players

Very beautiful in an alien kind of way

What a pretty blue butterfly. Let's call him "Fluffy"

Ahh - renovators delight!

Yum - this makes me hungry!!

Looks yummy! I don't mind the warm tones in this - it adds to the 'home-cooked' idea to me.

I have to agree - to me, food is about colour and texture and although this sounds really awesome, it needs the colour to kick it off

Looks like the little one is more interested in dinner!

Lol - love it!

I haven't lived!

I understand author - I wondered about the difference. A marked improvement too I may add

Nice job author - I wanted to do something like this but still working on the technical side

This is the sort of thing I had in mind when I submitted the suggestion

Very creative

Love the motion that the image conveys

Nice job of it - reminds me of Jack in the Box

I bet this looks stunning in all its coloured glory

LOL - at least there are no other floaters

Oh cool - my son loves these

Love the POV

It's a shame all these live lost in the name of freedom and we can't take a walk in the park at night

Nice - the sky really suits the building too

Perhaps next time take the shots in 'portrait' rather than landscape layout - you will need to take extra shots for the overlap but whne it comes time to stitch them you wont lose the top of the shrine

Lol - priceless!

Oh yum - my favourite!!!! Even better than the chocolate coated variety.

Very pretty I like the high key take as well - suits!

OMG - this could go all kinds of horribly wrong!

Hope the stroller has brakes ... long way down!

I like the desaturated colours.

Is that a giant hash cookie in the reflection? lol

LMAO

It could do with straightening a couple degrees counter clockwise

What is the purpose of wearing an ID card in his own store?

Very quaint -I would have hidden the plastic chair inside

What a crying shame - you don't see many of these anymore

Nice job author
