I liked this alot and gave it a 9. It was different. Maybe the desaturation hurt you, but I think it deserved a higher placement.

You did a very nice job selectively desaturating this picture. I like the rustic feeling of it. I know you as I wish that the tag was not hanging down from the basket in the middle of the picture but that was probably out of your control.

The selective desat works well here, normally I strongly dislike it but here it hits the spot.

Comment by gloda:
It was a good decision to use selective desaturation for this photograph. The flowers might not have come out well enough otherwise. You might have desaturated the plants in the upper part of the window as well though, since they're not something you'd want attention to be drawn on.

Comment by fotodude:
great use of desat. it would be nice to see is slightly sharpper, i'm assuming it was the downsize that caused the little bit of fuzzyess that bothers me just a tad, but i'll be understanding.

(always remember to sharpen a tad after the downsize for the web. [if detail is lost in compairson to the big]) still a great shot.

Use of the partial desaturation technique makes sense here, and is well-done.
