Comments:

solkee: Good luck to the mod doing this contest, hopefully it won't be anywhere near as big a contest as last time. (130 days ago)
yahidithmonnalisa: hmmm, i'm a bit confused...is it to turn an image to black and white and add color to one thing, or can we make a chop and then color one thing? (130 days ago)
Akassa: I think you can do both as long as you select one color (129 days ago)
ponti55: Already 17 entries.. jeez.. good luck Mods :-P (129 days ago)
Keiley22: maybe we should only be allowed to enter 1 entry, s/c is very easy and i think rather than just go and colour something we should try and be original.... i dont know lol (129 days ago)
Akassa: Nearly 30 entries already lol this contest will end with really many entries (129 days ago)
Contest Moderator: Entries without sources, copyrighted images or wrong links will be kicked out automatically (129 days ago)

luthau: oh man... there's so many entries... look like it gonna explode! (128 days ago)
solkee: Vinshine, there were actually 350+ entries submitted but 100+ were remoevd for source issues (128 days ago)
Keiley22: I have to say, i love s/c contests but theres not much originality going on.... all the objects and photos in the world and in every s/c contest ive been in people do flowers and eyes lol (128 days ago)
Akassa: What? 252 entries, u joking? LOOL i don't wanna imagine the time ppl wasted to vote on all that t.t (128 days ago)
solkee: Vote? Imagine modding it then. (128 days ago)
nehayash: the contest goal is too confusing,it says "selective colour" and asks for "selective object" wid multiple colours.I see most of the entries have multiple colours (128 days ago)
Keiley22: selective colour to me means one colour, if you use more than one colour then its not being selective is it lol (128 days ago)
billyboy: Yeah, remember, even the contest comments were moved on the forum, it was a huge cirkus. (128 days ago)
elficho: can we create scenes in ps with multiple sources and THEN do selective color, or does it have to be only one source photo?? (126 days ago)
elficho: also, if i decide to isolate one's clothes, does that include hats and shoes, but of the same color? (126 days ago)
slain4ever: "The thing you give color has to be mentioned as one word in the description or the title." Wow most people didn't follow that instruction (126 days ago)
Keiley22: i think when it comes down to it the name isnt what we vote on but the picture we create (126 days ago)
vinshine: well its really hard to think about voting in this contest... and to gain votepower in this contest is really really tough. (126 days ago)
Keiley22: im just bringing it up so the thumnails are visible and picking the 7 i want to place, but not till last few hours of voting (125 days ago)
Akassa: Oh dear i'm gonna have a abd time voting no this contest t.t (125 days ago)
ponti55: I'd like to see an answer to Elficho's question.. can we make a manipulation, then do selective color? (125 days ago)
elficho: i think this is more of a "who'll find a better stock photo" then it is a "who's better at photoshopping" contest... (124 days ago)
ReapRevenge: Ponti the answer is "yes" (124 days ago)
RickLaMesa: elficho...you are absolutely correct (124 days ago)
Keiley22: i must admit, i was expecting alot more photoshop work, ad created images as opposed to snap shots (123 days ago)
k5683: this is going to be hard to vote at the last hour I need to see the outlines of them all to be able to tell how everyone did.....and I really don't think I'll have enough time. lol (121 days ago)
Keiley22: well i just voted and i bet my vote power goes wacky now lol (121 days ago)

The Bleeding Plant photoshop picture
final rank: 3 out of 96 (final score: 61.2 %)

I gave it this title cos thats what i see :D

First of all I made a duplicate layer of the bush then used turned it black and white !!
Then made a layer mask ,I used a normal solid brush and painted the rain drops out on the black and white image to reveal the coloured image under it .
Once I had done that i selected the mask layer (Ctrl+click) then went to select >inverse ,then select>modify>feather for 2 next select>modify>contract for 1
