This image is an edited version of one [Mission San Jose] that I posted last month in SWF. Since I had been reading about converting color images to B & W, and then selectively restoring some color element(s) [using Adobe Photoshop Elements v.8], I thought that I had a good candidate to play with. What you see is the outcome of that experiment, which I’ve renamed Arches & Flowers. I like it more than the original. In any event, it was a fun exercise, and much simpler than I had imagined. Hope you like it.

Interesting effect!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Adventurous! You are going to have to talk me through the process someday.
I'd have to agree . . . it does work well. I have been thinking of trying this technique as well. You have a good eye and technique -- nice sharing.

Great composition and post-processing.
Regards and best wishes
Lovely arches...brings back scenes where castles reign.

Love how the black and white brings out the raw textures and shapes...and the burst of color from that plant is just an added bonus!

Wonderful effect and a wonderful composition. I thought it was in UK, so glad its so close by.
It came out great. I like it because it's kind of subtle... keep it coming! (and may be consider removing the word verification requirement?)
Amazing shot!
