Wow!

2mnyCatz

Thanks for the note!

What photoshop do you use and what method did you use to keep the lines? GREAT shot by the way :)

2mnyCatz

Thanks! I use Photoshop CS, I'll upgrade to CS3 asap now that it's out. I used a channel mixer layer to desaturate then masked what I wanted in color, the lines and the mirror.

Great use of selective color! Leaving the yellow lines really helps tie into the colors of the mountains in the mirror. Very cool!

2mnyCatz

Thank you! I wasn't sure about the yellow lines at first, but they grew on me.

Very neat! how did you do this and still keep the background so defined?

2mnyCatz

To have a great depth of focus like this you need to use a relatively high f-ratio number. If you have aperture priority mode on your camera, set the aperture to something like f/16. If you wanted just the foreground clear and everything else blurred, you would do the opposite, use small f stops.
