Beautifully executed with lovely clarity on the flag. If you had managed total DOF on the pole this would have been supreme!!

Top shot! Sorry to have missed this in voting. :( - glorious textures and DOF.
Should have been blue but well done Gordon.

The Red Necklace

Lovely capture, but I feel that the entire bird would have been worth selecting (despite your title and the subsequent lack of purpose). I'd like to see the full colour version - looks great.

The bleak landscape gives this shot more interest than most, questioning why red is chosen to paint this structure (provided you haven't changed it from green/blue?). The title obviously gives all away, but if this were seen outside of the challenge I like to guess its relevance. Good composition. Saturation of colour is a bit rich compared to mono areas.

Selective Desaturation

Comment:
Not much purpose in the selction here apart from showing different parts of the scene. The technique works best when drawing the viewer to notice something that perhaps may not be differentiated without the use of the selective colour. In this shot I would notice the flowers anyway.

Every Heart

Manikins have been done to death, but this does still work. On this site at least it helps not to anaesthetise the audince with overtly familiar subjects. After all what's it really trying to say anyway? What's the metaphor here? Subject is a little low in the composition - nice tones.

My two boys do this at the 1st floor window waiting for me to come home. Nice one.
