This sounds like fun. It sure is off to a good start: wilderness, candid portrait (I like the edge treatment), a golden bee visiting a flower, a grand scene that combines dramatic and subtle, and a large Raggedy doll that makes us smile. Well done Don, Grant, and Natalie.
My photo below (from my backyard 8 to 10 years ago) may be stretching the definition of "selected color" a bit, since that usually means just one color is chosen to be displayed. The background was a lovely blue-gray, similar in hue to the metal rod the little hummer is perched on. But as pretty as the background was, it seemed just too much blue. So I thought the photo would be a good candidate for this challenge. I desaturated and lightened the entire background. Unfortunately, this accentuated the noise in the photo, but you can't always have everything work the way you want.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
