I converted this photo to a black and white with some selective coloring.
I'm not sure if I like it but, I did learn something new...if I can just remember how I did it.
My husband and I were walking on the beach when I spotted the reflections of this man and his two young sons having some fun along the water.

The picture is so crisp, and the reflection so vivid. I see the kids chasing the waves. How fun!
Beautiful and lovely shot !!You had a good time !!Unseen Rajasthan
This is a wonderful reflection and such a beautiful scene. I keep thinking I'll do weekend reflection because I love reflection shots but I haven't joined in yet.
It's definitely an interesting effect, it draws the viewer's attention to the small kid in the middle. I think it's a good effect.
Good capture of the reflections. I like the stance of the boy in yellow. He appears ready to be chased by the next wave.
Very touching and I definitely like the splash of yellow. Thank you for your visits and comments, Carolyn - always enjoyed and appreciated. You're a dear.
I think your conversion works well. It certainly makes the people stand out.
What a fantastic capture, Carolyn! I love your conversion! There's so much I want to learn about photography!!! I love seeing the Dad with his kids and the spot of yellow is perfect! Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for you visits and comments, they are indeed always appreciated and enjoyed!

Have a lovely weekend.

I've never managed that selective colouring thing.
I like the brilliant yellow.
Very well done! The colors added back in are perfect!
I LOVE the selective color... the waves in the ocean have so much more texture than I can imagine if you had left the entire pic color! :)
C'est magnifique!
Adorable moment, they look so happy in this picture and the reflections are outstanding!
Always beautiful posts, congratulations and have a nice weekend.

I really love this picture! you caught a beautyful moment in a beautyful way!and the reflection is great!
So great and clear colors of reflection! Wonderful photo
What a great reflection shot. Have a nice week
Beautiful reflections Carolyn.
Happy weekend.
How interesting. That's a technique I haven't tried. What program did you use? I think this turned out very well.
Beautiful moment you captured! Nicely done!
The world has too few moments like this - I'm so glad you caught this one!
A wonderful shot, I love the color of the boys shirt. The reflections are really cool looking, well done!
This has such a classic feel and I do like the selective coloring.
Sorry I've been so busy lately and have not had a chance to drop by. I did get caught up tonight though on what you've been doing and I'm glad I did. You're keeping up your great tradition.
I like the final image to be honest. ..and having never formally studied the art, thats how I learn.
That is an interesting technique if you can remember how you did it! I,too, love to catch reflections in the wet sand as the wave moves back from the beach!
this is a great photo. I like it. The kind of photo I could hang on the wall.
This is such a wonderful photo, I love the composition. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Carolyn! I've done selective coloring but I'm thinking you must use something easier than me because I don't think I'd have gotten the color in the sand. :)
Great shot Carolyn -- I like it a lot.
Great reflection. I usually don't like added color to B/W but the yellow works beautifully in this one.
All in all it's a fabulous photo. I love the black and white and how it contrasts with the color on the people and in the reflections. It really makes me feel like I'm right there with them (or with you and your camera!) I think you did a great job!
Very nice reflections in the wet sand. Looks like they were having a grand time.
