People in the south use umbrellas to keep the sun off them.

A lot of parks here are putting in houses that look a lot like this but are designed for bats. Great way to keep down the insects.

The bat houses don't have the entry hole. There is no bottom on the bat houses here.

Those are the ones. We have a walking track just up the street that goes around the soccer fields and they have them all around the outside near the tree line.

How is selective color done? I have Adobe Elements 10 and Light Room and I could use some tips as I don't find anything when I search "selective color".

By the way, wonderful photos Marilynne.

Make a copy layer of the background original layer. Select the new layer and desaturate it to make it B/W. (remember it is just a layer and can be manipulated without affecting the base original layer.) With that layer selected use the eraser tool to remove areas of the mask that you want color to show through. You can adjust opacity as well so that it only lets a bit of color show through. To do very small areas magnify the image so you can see down to the sub pixels and remove small amounts of pixels at a time.

Thank you Mike. On a complex photo I imagine this could be quite time consuming.

Thanks jkinzel.

I do selective color in camera. I'm not familiar with the D90. Check your manual or your menu. It's under Retouch Menu on mine.

I do not think it is available in the D90 Check your manual to be sure... Marilynne and I both have the D5100 and D7100 and they have it...
