I played around with the pole vault forest for while and that was the best
thing that I came up with. I tried it with only the poles and it was a
different photo, without any human element.
How? In Photoshop CS2, I created a duplicate, B&W layer of the photo
arranged above the color version. Then I created a layer mask on the B&W
layer and painted black on the mask to reveal the color only where I wanted
it. So the B&W layer covers the color layer except in the places where I
painted the mask.

Love the first one. It's an excellent portrait, and goes to show that
no rule, including "eyes must be open" cannot be broken under the
right circumstances.
The pole vaulters is interesting, too, and I chuckled to see you left
the white guy in color. <g> But the way the shot is composed doesn't
lend itself well to having the color that low in the photo. Just the
poles would work better, I think.
And how, exactly, did you do that?
