just a quick attempt, i used the desaturation brush to remove colour every where exept the eyes then increased saturation on the eyes. then i used the burn brush to darken the back ground and then adjusted contrast and brightness. then added border with drop shadow. oh and i cropped the right hand side slightly. done using paint shop pro x.
i agree its interesting and helpful to see other peoples ideas. it can also inspire me to try different things i wouldnt have thought of before! i have never tried the selective colouring before so i thought i would try it and see what happened
