Lovely title and haunting image; combination of toning with full-saturation is fantastic. I hope this does well.

Cool!
I'm not absolutely sure about the desaturation, because the photo is already so strong. I love the backlight on the wheat (or other grain).
A winner I'm sure!

In this challenge, "Creativity is the Key" is what I am using to score images. Beautiful! From the background blur to the wind in his hair this image is great. Not too fond of the border and unsure of the crop, but as it is the composition works. Love the touch of grass in the midground. 10 - Good luck in the challenge!
