Interesting idea, and although I actually think you intended the effect, something about the blurred, underlit subject doesn't do it for me.

The lighting, the model, the sweet mood all make a beautiful photo here. I think the color is perfect. But the most impressive thing is the heavenly lashes!!!!

I don't think I did a lot on this. maybe a little sharpening, and I tend to throw a bit of neat image on.

For the desat, I took a copy of the color, added an adjustment layer for channel mixer then merged the two and erased just the flower so the original showed through

I may have run the sharpening tool over her eyelashes, and I probably sharpened by filter, then used a blur tool over the hair to bring it back to not so pixelated.

I did a LOT of dodging on most of these pictures because it was very bright outside.

The detail in this image is VERY good. I'm curious as to what you did, or was it pretty much SFTC?

Yes it would fit the current challenge. Unfortunately I had it done before the challenge was announced, so... shrug.

I'm gonna be gone the last week of the month, trying to get things done in advance.

Besides I've used her face so often in the last couple 30 day challenges, that I have a feeling she'd not go over well in a full challenge.
