I love the texture of the black part of the flower. It looks 3-dimensionally fuzzy :)

Works well with black background, very contrastee. Like the texture and square crop here.

Comment by levyj413:
I find it compelling, actually. I want to yell to the boys "run to the color before it fades out completely!" It's like the stick is the only thing anchoring them to the world of color, and once it gets too far away from them, they're stuck in a gray world.

The Flower Fairy (Day 8)

Comment by CNovack:
The selective desat. really helps the colors of the flowers pop off the page. I like the composition in which the shadow of the hand(s) reach and the tips touch the bottom stems of the tulips. To me it projects the action of "just reaching a little more", a little more....got them! And that is a wonderful little story to go with the picture. I trust the 'flower fairy' made another visit today;-) - Happy Mother's Day!
