Interesting choices...your composition's gotten better, too.
My brain isn't exactly full, so uh, I can't exactly do some in-depth commentary right now
I think, for the first one, you would've been better off just having the three poles in color and leaving the door frame black and white.
In the second one, I question your decision to leave the sky in full color. If you're doing selective color, using only one color stands out more.
Also... I think you could've used the windows in that one more to your advantage. There are a ton of little rectangles there. You could've arranged the colored ones in a way that makes people think they're
The third one isn't bad, but for some reason I feel like if I had been the one taking the picture, I would've left 'Tacos' colored and left everything else in grayscale... but that's just a personal preference,
In the fourth one... I think you picked the right owl to leave colored, but I think it could've stood out more, somehow...
In the fifth.... the lighting in that picture is way, way too dark, but I like the composition and I think leaving the unicorn colored was the right decision.
it's not bad, but... the color being on either side of the picture detracts from any composition you might've had.
The one thing to remember with selective color is that it turns whatever you're leaving colored into the focal point. So, if you have multiple colored objects, they need to be in the same general area that your
eye is only pulled in one direction.
Like, an example of something that would make an excellent selective color photo that uses multiple colors rather than just one would be a person walking towards the edge of a photo, all in color, while every-
thing behind and around the person, including other people, are in grayscale.
The color points out the importance of that one person amongst the others in the photo and draws your eye to them, giving you a much better composition than if it had just been in color or black and white.
It also makes the background seem less busy, since color is automatically more "busy" than grayscale.
Or rather, I meant, it makes the background seem less busy even if it's full of things and people and chaos.
