I've taken the liberty of uploading the re-edit I spoke of (please tell me if you would rather I removed my version); just in case you are interested to see what the tweaking I referred to looks like. Working on just a small jpeg rather than the source RAW limits what I can do with my novice skills, but here you go:



I think it brings out some latent potential in the image, but that final analysis is of course yours.

Nice composition and framing for this subject - the contrasting colours make for a very effective image.

Hmm.. I very nearly like this, but the image as a whole seems a little unbalanced; I'm not sure if it is the composition or the POV.

I'm not sure this works - without the colour it feels like I am looking at this flower through a military image intensifier. It is good to experiment though.

If I'm honest, I'm not so keen on this one it feels like I am looking at them through sunglasses. Certainly accomplished work, but not for me - sorry.

I love the composition and lighting but for me, it isn't quite sharp enough or blurry / dreamy enough - it sits somewhere in between.

Color for my kiss

As expected this has just been DQ'd. Absolutely the right decision following the other DQ in this challenge. Although mine was more subtle in how it created a new image area, the same rules apply. Had I raised the crayon a little I could've created a natural boundary and desaturated to her right (viewer's left) but as it is, the small arbitary end of the desaturation just above the crayon is illegal.

You live and learn.
