I do not understand your message. You obviously want me to look at the red body of the guitar, but I do not know why. You used the flash for this shot didn't you. Did you try to take a blown out image and make it look better with the selective desat? If that was what you were trying it won't work. You just end up with a blown out b/w shot. To make b/w truly work, you need definition. You need texture. With the flash, you blew out both of those making it impossible for the b/w treatment to work.

I LOVE wildlife shots. This is very nice. I would have liked to have seen the rain playing on the reflection though.

Australian black swan. They are such majestic creatures. You captured this one nicely - the raindrop waves are a nice background.

Unfortunate the the beak is a little oof, always the first place my eye goes after the eye. Very nice pose with the raindrops & circles. I think this shot would be even better with a pan down, to get the goose's reflection in the ripply water.

I actually like this pic. I wish the left edge was a little straighter, but I think the setup is pretty good. It's true, it's a bit soft and has weird lighting, but I think it has a nice feel to it and the choice of lego character is excellent in the face.

The illusion is pretty good too.

They sure don't make it like they used to.
