When you require a black and white image with color in selected areas it is easily achieved on the computer by creating a desiderate layer mask and painting out the areas where you want the color to show through by using black on your paint brush.  This can create an interesting effect. 

It appears that this truck is participating in some sort of hill climb event.  The photographer has captured the excitement of the spinning wheels and the flying dirt.  He has elected to highlight the red truck cap which draws our attention immediately.  This is a nice sports action image.

There are some things the photographer may wish to consider on their next project.  First of all we are not sure if this truck is climbing a hill or the photographer’s perspective is just above the subject.  We need some sort of reference point to tell us this is a hill.

He may want to clone out the white sticker in the rear window.  This is a visual distraction that does not need to be there. 

There is one more detail that could be easily corrected.  When the brush tool was applied to the cab of the truck the brush must have gone outside the bounds of the hood at the front and we can see a sliver of orange color that is not part of the truck.  This can be fixed by using the white brush and painting back in the black and white.
