Dont move a Muscle

Picture of one of the guards at buckingham palace i took on a trip to London last week. Turned it to black and white then photoshopped the colour back into the guard.

Hello SaturnStobe ans welcome to DPS. This was a great choice for selective colouring. I bet you didn't make him smile for the camera lol.. Great work. I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do. Keep up the great work.

Dave.

Very interesting- you can't miss him! I think I would have cropped in closer but this certainly works very well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot, great contrast, but you could zoom in a bit more

And sir, i think there are ways to make them move, they maybe sinister but yes...it will make them move

Thanks for the comments guys.

I thought it was a good one for selective colouring too dave thanks.

And I can appreciate the cropping comments too guys. Maybe a little too much ground before the guard in it

Got a little surprise about this photo for you. The photo was taken on an iPhone, it was then edited on iPhone using the application coloursplash and was also then uploaded to flickr using the flickr application then onto DPS through safari
