typically, I don't like partially desats too much, but this result is really great ;o)
Cheers, Armin

I like both shots but this one a little better since a little red says more than a lot of red. John

:) ....yes but I had to do something, out of the box, besides my missus only gave me 35mins to take my photos this week :(

Not my cuppa tea as the partial desats look so cliche. I'm sure you could have got a good shot of this box wivout doing this.........Lazy sod:-)

I love these red phone booths. Unfortunately with cell phones I dont think they will be around too long - Debi

Thanks for your comments, this is my out of box method.
I used the colour accent mode, which enables you to sample the colour you want to retain, all others are set to black and white. A range can be set which includes colours that are close to the sample colour.

Nicely done Maurice! Please explain how you did this including the few bricks and slates with color. - Kelly

This is the good one Maurice, but I would prefer it without the red. -tv

Beautiful booth against the background and did you use selective color for this?
