your portfolio has some interesting studies and good subjects, I like the found object black feather the best and this is another. The rendering of selective desaturation on the depth of field is an obvious choice & the right design decision. Your color off desat on the background works for this, and is arresting, but I think the effect usually is employed too strongly and think so for this one too. An option might be to fade the selective color gradually, still keeping some, maybe just a slight amount of color. The fade would still keep the drama of your intention to isolate and enhance the character of the strong floral stem, but provide a more engaging and subtle color transition. Very good eye for subject.

An accomplished lesson of isolation - disassociation/reassociation of form - perfect method. An evocative title. a favorite.

The Ephemeral Solace of an Image (Robert Doisneau)
by Pedro

Comment:
Doisneau, an admirable, and difficult choice to emulate. He is one of the best. A special high praise to you for introducing him to those who have been unfamiliar with his work. Your effort & comments - superior.
