Andew,
I haven't looked at the Leica campaign, but I like this idea of working
with color and black and white in the same photo. I just took a picture of
wife and daughter's hands on the piano on which I might try some PS
manipulations, inspired by your idea here. I felt similarly when look at
Rob Heyman's (I think they were his) b+w photos which had been colored in
photoshop.
Regards,
Michael Gerard
