Selective color, sometimes referred to as color popping, works by turning an image black and white while keeping the subject in color. Done well, it creates strong contrast and directs attention exactly where you want it. Done poorly, it can feel heavy-handed and distracting rather than effective.

  > As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography.
