Posting one or two images and asking for critique is recommended. Posting an entire gallery and asking for feedback is overwhelming and you will receive very little response.

I posted the url to 5 photo's!

Still, it's usually more convenient to link the images. Having the images included in the context of the post makes it more convenient for people to comment on them and also to reference the comments made about them. /Dan

I like 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 5 is neither here or there to my eyes. I would like to try something similar myself ( when and if I ever find the time )
What does make me look twice is the apparent overspill of colour between Joey's foot and the white linen (maybe it's just my eyes) but would that be fixable in PS maybe ?
If that would be possible, I would like the pictures even more.

Nice use of selective decolorization....however not too origional as this is being overused technique lately, all in all good photo's though.

Selective color has been hammered to death of late so I am no longer a fan I'm afraid. Though you are quite tidy compared to some at the technique. The shot with the stop sign is confusing in as much as the background looks like stunning and beautifull scenery and you have changed it to mono? I would have done it the other way around. I would love to see the original of this. The shot with the horses is much better and maybe you should use this as your direction. I do like the muted color in this shot.

I like the selective coloring (still) and I think you did a fine job at it. Are all of your shots taken in Amsterdam? Im looking forward to a trip there in May !!

I am no expert, but do think I prefere the second collection much more. I think there is some beautiful scenery there. I do like selective coloring but am very picky about what I think works with it. Just my .02, keep posting you have some great photos.

I agree with ctgirl. The second collection are vibrant and you are lucky to have such gorgeous scenery near to you. Really nice colour pics.

Sorry to say... none of the photo's were taken in Amsterdam!

But dont be worried.... Amsterdam has a lot of unique places wich are
perfect for photography!

Sorry - when I first opened the link originally there were more than 5 photos, so not sure what happened, but I saw your entire gallery.

I like the pics here. They are very nice! I am a fan of selective coloring when used mildly. I like the stop sign shot. Selective coloring sometimes works better than with photos of people.

Good work!

Thanks for the hints and tips and compliments!

Color versions really freaking nice :D

Thanks!:D

I really liked 1, 4 and 5.
I thought the stop sign was too "in your face" in 2
Sorry but I didn't like 3 (Mikeschool) the technique didn't seem to compliment the subject.
However all the pics are good quality and well composed. Well done!
