I'm usually not a fan of selective desat because it looks so unreal... but in this case I didn't even realize you'd done it until I read your comments. I was completely focused on the little girl and police officer. The other thing I like about this photo is the little girl in the background who seems to be watching what is going on. Overall, this is a fantastic shot that has captured the moment well. And as for sending the offer a print of the picture, go for it! I'm sure he would apprecaite it! :)

Stunning... this is the clear winner for the challenge in my book. The tones, the expression.. and the reflection of the person are all perfect. If I had to make a suggestion, I would say it looks just slightly oversharpened. Good luck!

Priceless! Looks like she is a wonderful and fun loving person! The shirt really helps to tie it into the contrast challenge. Well done!

I love the intense look on his face. I think a slight levels adjustment on this would have really boosted the contrast and made it stand out more.

Swirl No. 9

I like this version much better (though, I liked the first one too!) The dark circle is gone, there is a smoother blending into the swirl, eliminating what came across to me as hot spots of white, and the swirl itself is smoother. A great reshoot. I notice the original says that it too was a reshoot of a shot you did when you started photography. It would be interesting to look at that one too in this series!

I had no clue what this one was, but that was the point of the challenge, right? The colors are so warm and wonderful, this one kept getting bumped up as I looked at it each time. Well done! :)

I loved this shot Kita! It captures the essence of the challenge very well and the soft colors are just beautiful. This was one of my 10's for the challenge. Simply stunning! :)

Beautiful! This was one of my top picks in the challenge. I love the colors, and how fortunate that you found a tree with such vivid colors in time for the challenge! Well done and congrats on your 4th highest score and 11th place!
