Ok. This works. :) Given that this challenge is running under the 'Advanced' ruleset I'd have attempted some burning across the top and top corners. It's a little bright up there in comparison to the rest of the image and is a bit distracting. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Looks like it's melting! :) Interesting subject for the challenge, and a hard one to pull off cleanly. Good luck.

Very nice use of desat to tell a story and keep the viewer focused on what's important. This should make the front page IMO. Good luck!

Naturally Framed at Petrifying Speed

Comment:
Nice subject and well done on the desat. Seems a little oversharpened and a touch heavy on NI. I love the "expression" on the back doe. :) Good luck in the challenge.

Very clean and sharp work on the main subject. The burn tool is a bit obvious, not too over-the-top or anything, just not that subtle. Haven't decided if I like the wide-angle view or not...would be nice to see more of the main subject I think and move him off-center a little. All JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

Ok. Nice job on the desat part. Subject matter and composition is a bit static and IMO not very exciting to look at. Nothing personal, just an opinion. :) Good luck in the challenge.

I like the feel of this shot and it's a good choice for desat. The haloing around the woman is a little distracting. Good luck in the challenge.

ETA - No worries about scoring. I'm just commenting. :)

Nice leading lines and good use of selective desat for this. Vignetting is a nice touch. Good luck in the challenge.

Good placement of your subject in relation to the bg - nice bokeh effect. Nice job of doing the selective desat on a tricky item (hair!). :) Good luck in the challenge.

Retro

The shoes are certainly 'Retro'. It's fun to watch fashions cycle back around. :) As for the photo I like your choice of subject. The location would have been better suited on some blacktop IMO. The composition/focus/lighting, etc...are all in good order. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
