Why are these called senior pics. I like the shots. Well worked out!

Perhaps you might like to share with us how you acheived this look

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like you blew the highlights in the original. I think it works okay for the image, but next time if you reduced your exposure you could retain more light information, and have more flexibility with your original.

Hmm I think it kinda looks weird with just the t-shirt coloured.... think maybe it'd look better with the whole face and body in colour and the rest in B&W?

I don't agree. I thinks it's a good initiative and because it's weird, it looks good.

I did this with Corel PaintShop Pro Photo. I duplicated the original, reduced the saturation to -100%, then used the background eraser to color in the shirt. I have been having trouble with my exposure. Without a flash, I felt like I had too much shadow on his face. I don't have any equipment except for my Canon PowerShot S3
