***Acurazine Photo Contest #32: Black, White and Color***
Acurazine Photo Contest #32
The theme for this contest is: "Black White and Color"
We have had a black and white theme, so lets throw some color into the black and white. I am sure most of you have seen some photos which are black and white, then have an object or objects in color to stand out in the picture (Example: Picture of a face, everything is in black and white except the eyes.. making the eyes pop especially if they are blue). So that's that, this means that post processing is pretty much required in this contest.
The rules for this contest are as follows:
-The subject can be anything you deem acceptable that fits the description.
-You must be the person that took the photos. Previous photos are acceptable as long as you are the one that captured the image.
-One submission per contest.
-Images must be no larger than 1024px in any direction. Links to larger images are allowed but you must have one that is under 1024px for the poll.
-All contestants must host their own pictures.
-All pictures must have a title.
-While post processing in Photoshop is allowed, adding or removing parts of the picture is not. In the event a photo is suspected to be "photo-chopped," the contestant will be asked to provide the original picture.
Important dates and poll info:
Entries must be submitted to this thread no later than Wednesday, August 26th at 9PM EST. Most people seem comfortable with the 4 week format so I will leave it at that.
The poll will start on Thursday, August 27th. Multiple votes will be allowed.
The poll will close on Sunday, August 29th at 9PM EST. Shorter voting period than previously done.

Something like this (not an entry, just an example):
GLowrdr, we typically leave it for the contest starter to make the final call, but my opinion is that your posted image doesn't qualify. It should be something that has been converted to black & white in post-processing, with a selected area or areas retaining color. PiZaul, feel free to contradict me if I'm misinterpreting your theme.
