Nice gallery you have there. Your PS skills are excellent compared to mine - I really like the pics of the cat and the flag where you B&W the background and keep the color on something specific. Can I ask how you do that?

Hey Mr_Clean001,
Thanks for shecking out the galley and the comments! The way I did the B&W pics was to use an action to create the B&W version then copy it and patse as a new layer over the original color image. Then with the eraser tool you just erase the parts that you want color. It is a real fun way to play with images. :-) The best advise on these is to not overdo the colorization. The less you color in the image seems to give the best effect. Have fun and let me know what you come up with!
