Feet on the beach

This is an example, IMO, of where selective desaturation does not work. Selective desaturation is generally used to put a viewer's focus on part of the image... usually the subject of the image. Is the board/wood in this photo where you want your viewer to focus?

Beautiful work. This is my favorite photo in this challenge. The lighting is excellent... it could possibly stand a tad more depth of field... = 10

Greetings from the Critique Club...

This is a nice capture of the turkey vultures. I have a difficult time evaluating challenge photos of this nature, because the photo itself is not the only element that determines how strong the entire presentation is. The text is the other part being judged, along with what it actually says. With my limited knowledge of graphic design, I would agree that the text in this image is a bit 'loud'. I'm not sure how to suggest much improvement with this idea and theme.

An homage to the "Man" himself maybe?

Hi Train...

This is a good example of everyday objects. Blue jeans are quite commonplace and most people are familiar with them. The texture and detail here are also somewhat interesting, but the point of focus seems a bit off. The fasteners/snaps here probably should be in nice sharp focus. In an image like this one, I can't see any particular reason for everything not to be sharp. Compositionally, there is an ajustment you could have made that would possibly create more visual appeal. The label that is showing in the back of the pants is not really adding anything to the image, but the break in the curve on the bottom left is a bit uncomfortable. Changing the camera angle slightly would have included this entire curve and probably removed the label. The additional 'flow' in the image with that curve being complete would be nice :)

Excellent idea here... nice color contrast. The composition may be improved some by giving a little subject breathing room around the bottom and bottom right edges...
