beautiful pic but for me the conversion of the backgorund to grey doesn't enhance it. Presumably its grass but now its grey it just looks like gravel so its almost as if nothing has been done to the pic. Hope this makes sense

Comment by Curious:
This shot really portrays the scale of the choices. The use of tight depth of field helps to create an uneasiness or insecurity about the choices still to be made. I like how the actual focal point is on the choices in front of the pencil, emphasizing the choice to be made rather than the one that has already been made. This is a really well executed shot.

Nice shot! The way you softened the fore- and the background really makes one feel like that the test's gonna last forever.

Pretty good, but it's not exactly obvious that the image was desaturated.

Not really selectively desaturated. There's still color in other places.

Interesting idea for a shot, I wish it was a little more on subject though. I like the focus of the text on the mirror and the blured background...
