I used Adobe Photoshop.
I just duplicated the layer. After I duplicated the layer, I desaturated it & erased some of the black & white colors.

I know this is very simple, but yeah.

Simple is good. Your b&w background makes the colors stand out more. Cropping would help, too.

[TexasShutterBug]

Very nice! I would crop it and maybe straighten it a bit

[southernbelle]

I agree that cropping would help a lot. I like the de-saturated background. Fun shot!

[tbsquared]

LOVE the desaturated background! I agree with the straightening/cropping comments, too. Did you do anything to the saturation of the image overall (the color parts?) They look brighter in the post-processed.

[richardpsic]

Definitively some straightening and cropping will help a lot. Did you used some auto levels or something?

[ppchkn]

i wold turn down a little brightness... the flash gives a blow on the light colors, outside of that, very fun pic! (yeah, don´t be afraid of crop!)

[EdBickfordCPA]

Cropping would definitely help as well as removing some of the redeye.

Thanks for the comments.

I did some contrast adjustments.
I don't know how to remove the red-eye. I would appreciate it when someone would give links on Photoshop tutorials.

I don't see much red-eye here. At least not enough to worry about.

As with most things, there are many ways to get rid of red-eye in post. this is the method I use
