post processing playing

I have to admit that I'm not that good at post-processing work, like working with photographs in Lightroom or Photoshop but by playing, one gets better - right?

I call this selective color. I completely desaturate the photo so that it's basically B&W then add color with a special brush (in Aperture, it's called "brush enhance away")

Here, I've cropped some photos to get a tighter frame so that the eye isn't distracted from the main action taking place and the ball is the focus of attention for the viewer just as it is for the players.

Can you find the ball?  ;-)
