Can anyone show me a Selective Colour image that actually has some point to it?

There is a photo that has been posted here, by the Vlad (?) person that puts their name all over the image, of a cosmetic set with only the lipstick in color. I can see that as a valid advertising shot.

And, if you wanted to sell anything to the myspace, facebook, etc. blog crowd.

Maybe the recent popularity started with 'Schindler's List', but I dye tinted Tina Turner's dress and shoes in a B&W print in the late '70s. It probably started before color film when hand colored prints were popular. How much if you just color the faces?

I think the one Perki posted the other day had a point to it.

A colorful transvestite alone in a crowd.

The selective color shows us how he sees himself and how he feels about his place in the world. It also shows how the world sees him.. larger than life, a curiosity.

It's very touching, the best example I've ever seen of a narrative with a currency of color.

This one I saw on Flickr is much more subtle than most and whilst I can't say right out that there is a "point" to it I do think it has been effectively applied in this case. I can actually say I like it, it adds to this photo rather than distracts the viewer.

Some people just like it. And the point of art is for someone to like it, even if it is only the artist.

Art and beauty are all in the eye of the beholder.

Yep, here's the image Liddy was referring to

I felt he was a colorful character in a drab city, but the color served to express his alienation from the norm. Any way, that was my point...that and "I know how to do it" (haha)
