Lamp and Sky

Here is another photo that has been subjected to selective desaturation, with yellow as the only color spared.

The B&W was obtained by desaturating the red channel, as it offered the most interesting contrast in the clouds. The yellow of the bulb was isolated by Photoshop with the "Select color range" command.

I also added a mirror gradient layer (black and transparent) to frame the shot a little more and darken the mood.

This photo was actually taken in broad daylight. Here is the original for comparison.
