    Practising the somersault!

    This is my first attempt at selective colouring. Please share your C & C.

    Nice but a bit crowded,I wish that tree wasn't behind the man in the air and I wish there weren't buildings around.

    I don't usually like selective colorization but, it works in this case and separates the tumbler from the background...

    I think I would crop slightly tighter. You can lose a little from the left side to help with reducing the background confusion. And if needed, to get a suitable image size ratio, a little from the top.

    I like the splash of color. Really makes the guy stand out. Very nice shot.

    I like the shot too, yet I feel like a couple of steps to the left would have put tumbler in front of building. I know that's a timing shot and those steps are much easier recognized after the fact. still the coloring does its job well and I find this pleasing.
