As for me, I just hate colours on a photograph. I shoot almost comletely black and white (I mean, I shoot in colour then convert it to BW using raw software, then PS.)

Well, apparently, I didn’t get the ‘a hrefs=’’s tags correct…

I have used this effect, (probably overused it, but it looks cool), for quite some time. [blue here and here and here, red?/A>] Someone has, probably, already shared this method, but here's my version: I create the effect using Photoshop Elements. [I don't know anything about Light I de-saturate all the colors, except the ones I want - blue or red in the above examples. Then I use the lasso tool to select all the remaining areas of color that I don't want and select "remove color." It's pretty quick. I did the two blue images in about ten minutes, (both of them), and the red one less than five minutes. All without any involved 'painting'. [I, also added noise, increased the contrast of the images].
