Arrgh, now I can see what you have done here, and I can`t even begin to imagine how hard it was to pull this shot off - so on meeting the challenge you have totally nailed it - however my problem lies with the overall quality of the image - it just doesnt work for me - it really kills the image that I daresay took ages to setup and capture but I usually score on both subject and overall image quality - and thats where I am struggling here... If the processing had been on the ball and the image excited me then it would of been a ten all the way - however I really need to stick to my usual voting methodology to be fair to the the entries... Gonna have to give you a 7 here, but so annoyed as this could of been spectacular. PM me, would love to know who shot this. 7 (with a heavy heart)..

Will he make it?!

This kind of `selective desaturation` technique is a bit passe these days.. I also feel the way you blurred the background has harmed this image.

Lovely shot - I`m thinking Judi here - but maybe a tad too overprocessed for me.. Which is saying something as I am the king of pushing those sliders to the max! 7

Hoping this is genuine, but the BG looks fake to me - marking as a 7 but will be getting a stewards enquiry on this one.. good luck!

This seems to be a case of style over substance - interesting processing of an otherwise `meh` shot.

I dont need to tell you that this is probably the winner.. And I`m thinking that on a challenge with so few entries it could well be up there as one of the highest scoring entries ever... PM me and let me know. 10 all the way.
