Black and White w/ Color

I took this picture on Sunday at around three thirty using auto. At first I wasn't planning on taking the dirt out or doing anything to it, so I just went ahead with the black and white.

The first thing I did was make a new layer and take the saturation out of it to make it black and white. Then I messed with the curves a little but that was it.

Then I took the eraser tool and erased all the black and white. But then I decided to get rid of the dirt on the pumpkin cause it looked bad. So I used the clone stamp tool to get rid of most of the dirt on the pumpkins.

I took this picture cause I was looking for something to take a picture of and I had carved the pumpkin the night before, so I just took a pic of it. I like the third one best cause the pumpkins don't have a bunch of dirt stuff on them.
