Foo - Photoshop/GIMP Gurus: Contest! The Theme, Color and Grayscale mix in the same Image

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Here's an example...

Remember the scene in Schindlers List where the little girl is wearing the bright red coat in the middle of the B&W scene? It had dramatic impact. I'd like to see what you can do with it, and I'll award a Titanium membership for life to the winner. If you are already in Ti, I'll extend your membership to a Lifetime Ti.


Good luck, and have fun! The contest will run until Midnight Eastern Time, August 26th. One entry per person.

Yeah, the only requirement is that the image be yours. I don't care how old or new it is.

I'm not sure if this one counts... I used chemicals, not Photoshop or GIMP, and the emphasized bit is in B&W... but here it is, anyway:

Can we use stock photos, or is this for shutterbugs only?

I guess, if you took the stock photo...

I'll accept it.

Thought I might try this technique. (and learned the hard way not to do the attached file which appears as a thumbnail)

FWIW (apparently not much from me)... I like this the best.
