[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some more motocross action from Horsham. This time I've decided to have a play with Photoshop CS2. I've looked at the picture in both colour and black and white, and this time decided on a mixture of both. The dark gloom of the dust cloud and the background bringing out the colours on the Yamaha and the rider.

PP Work;

Levels adjusted
Unsharp mask of 60% added
Magnetic lasso on the rider and bike, made new layer via copy.
Background layer colours desaturated and adjusted curves
flattened image
framed.

Looking at the cloud there seem to be a face, maybe I should cut down on the drink when looking at the pictures :o)

Anyone worried about dust on there digital SLR sensor, please do not look at the workshop photo. :o)

Good use of selective colour Daniel. Great sense of movement and speed with the dust cloud.

Hi daniel.

Bonjour,
Belle photo mais je n'aimerai pas me trouver derrière le motard.
