Sandhills in Yellow and Black (and white)

On the spur of the moment last Saturday, I drove out to the sandhills near Valentine, NE. That evening, my long drive paid off with spectacular golden light and photogenic clouds.

To achieve this affect, I first converted the image to B&W with NIK Efex Pro. Then I selected the yellow pixels and created a mask to let them show through the black and white layer. Hope you like it; it's different.

  2. Frank, I really like the effect of the black and white with the yellow vegetation; it works great for the theme. I'd be interested in seeing the original photo sometime as well!
