Description
Thank you for stopping for a closer look. Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated.
While working thru the photoshop tutorials, this was an exercise in learning to use the magic brush. I have often marveled at portraits I've seen where you have a collored item in a B&W image. I know how to do this now:):) I know there is much more to learn and perfect in such a technique but I am slowly progressing. I also applied an effect that slightly blurs everything except the central focus.
Any suggestions are always more than welcome here, I know these galleries are visited by people that are very proficient with these types of techniques so I value any assistance offered.

I think you have done a great job here.
me i am not a great postworker or filter technique man.cant help you there mate.
awesome shot with an excellent presentation !!!
You did great, like the jug :o)
wonderful ! a suggestion : I would have cropped him wider, so it doesn't look caged in the frame; it would give more air to the image
Never had a manual or read any tuts on my ancient version of PS7 I got from my sister but it's the handiest and most used Hammer in my Toolbox. I like the scripted Actions and different Styles for Layers, there are 100s of Free Actions and Styles available online, lots of free ones from Adobe themselves. I check this link a lot to check for new stuff http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&o=desc&exc=16&cat=190&event=productHome&l=%2D1&from=40 Peace

Interesting postwork here ! Nice shot too.
This looks great, and congratulations on learning this technique, so are you hooked on photoshop now?? I can see it now, up til the early morning hours working away on an image, I know I've done the same. You did leave a bit of color or a bit of a glow/color around the handle of the pitcher but other than that super job.
