My pick for red.
Lately I've been bored with selective desaturation but this is really unique, you have renewed my faith in that it can be used to better an image!

This shot works well because of the leading lines in the oil. Nice shot.

Ok. Here's an "artistic" photo that many have been belaboring doesn't exist or get enough recognition on DPC. This is a wonderful (if not sadly true) story being told in a powerful, eye-catching way. Strong message, and technicals to match!

This image is deserving of all the praise it receives and then some. I hope you take this photo to many places and gather acclaims around the world. Worthy of display in many galleries!

Congratulations, and Thanks for this vision!
