I'm not sure this needs selective desaturation, I think I'd prefer it without. But I really like the image itself, the portrait of this elderly couple in quiet conversation sitting infront of such a beautiful, almost timeless, view.

Maybe a slightly different viewpoint to square up the bench, otherwise an attracive idea.

8 - Good photograph. Some nice character elements, a few distracting ones, like the selective desat, but do wonder (if the clothing color suited) whether leaving the couple in color as well, may have made this even better, but your call - obviously. Judging by your title, perhaps you wanted the island to dominate/visually offset.

Pleasing shot with a unique flavor and it met the challenge to a 'T' ;)
Congrats on top 10.

Is this Orta? What a wonderful place! The bench seems to give the photo a tilt to the right even if the island seems straight which takes away from the overall feel. Looks like a cloudy day and the mist works well with the muted colors. Nice photo in a beautiful setting.

Cool shot. The harsh shadows make for high contrast. Even still, there's something about this picture that seems a little flat. Maybe because I'm used to mountains. =)
