I Love Doing Interesting ”Touch of Color” Images

Globe sedge is one of my favorite grasses to photograph due to it’s round, spiked seeds and it’s long, straight leaves or blades. The two textures makes a great contrast that makes for interesting images. It also lends itself very well to doing one of my favorite modifications. I call it adding a ”touch of color”, where one part of the image is colored while the rest is done in black and white. I really like the contrast you get with this type of modification (it works best with bright colors), and it’s a great way to emphasize your subject. For tonight, I modified the same photo in a couple of ways. Both have things I like and things I’m not too keen on. I would really like your input. Which one do you prefer? Do you like this style or hate it? Let me know!
