I just love your work. This is a gorgeous find and the selective desat enhances the beauty and mystery of the setting. Very pretty!

You got the royal screw job on this one. I thought for sure this would have been over 6. Good job Colleen.

And the incompleteness works very, very well, too. Excellent photograph and one of the rare ones where the desat actually adds to the image.

Ha - you got really robbed on this. I was one of your 8's, and find this incredibly artistic. What do these voters know, huh? Truly fantastic entry.

I like how you restricted the saturation of the husk to only over the flower - very arresting composition. Great title. :)

thats a great sky, good color, and depth, but the forground is a little dark, I realise that it is basic edit, making it dificult to corect, I would try cropping the brighter part of the green field off, at the bottom, i feel it is that part that is distracting, I think tring to make it brighter would ruin the sky, great shot, well done, and good luck. 8
