Oklahoma City Memorial 14

I don't know if you're a fan of the partial B&W conversions. I'm not typically. But I didn't like the color in this ... except for the golden tones in the lights on the panel/reflection. Is it effective?

Interestingly, I am working through a book on masks and composites using photoshop. I am learning SO much ... in this, I used the pen tool to draw a path around the panel/reflection, subtracted the inside see-through area, and converted it to a selection. It didn't take but minutes. I can't imagine any other selection tool that would have made that selection more easily. Anyway - I used the inverse selection and a clipping mask to convert only those parts to B&W. I don't know that I would have understood a word of what I just typed a month ago! Yippee!! She CAN learn!! :-)

I'm learning some new (to me) photoshop techniques. If you have time,

please read my comment. I'm always open to PS skills input! :-)
