did you paint the colors back in? excellent tone control. Love the shoes. Angle works for me and adds to image. Crop, composition and lighting are excellent. I think I know whos this is... :) 9

Sorry, can't stand that selective D-sat look anymore. And, I'm sorry to say, I don't feel like you make terribly original use of the technique. And just using a technique won't give you high scores on here. I know from my own experience.

Try to focus on getting a well composed, nicely lit, sharp picture that makes good use of perspective and DOF and that is a little more ORIGINAL.

No offense, please, I'm just trying to help.

Cheers,
Bruce

PS: gave you a 6 for on topic, technically sound but not very exciting

Great simple composition and pose. I love the color and slight desaturation, and how the blue is brought out. Great contrasty image.

I think its a bit to over processed (for my taste) and personally think it would benefit from some grittyness. It's kind of a dark image, and I think if it felt "older" it would be more striking. excellent crop and composition, good use of selective sat.

Nice effect here with the colors. Very edgy without being too "digitally-arty."

Selective desaturation works wonders (again). :-)

The post processing on this one doesn't work for me. I don't understand why you want me to look at the orange dress and the lighter skin tones just don't work. A true b/w treatment would have been more appropriate or a tri- or quad-tone maybe. I would really like to see it in color...
