I love it when there is a 'proper' story to go along with an image

Fantastic shot and would love to have the ability to isolate colour elements of an image like this

The shadow of the hand reaching for the tulips is a great touch to an already striking image

This image really goes along with the story and selective desat works well here.

Wow! Sorry it wasn't better received. For an expert editing challenge, I think it's very creative and artistic. I wouldn't have expected it to score in the 4's :(

This is an interesting effect and I remember looking at it long and hard during FS voting - and then not voting, as I couldn't make up my mind about it. I think what maybe detracts is that the magic stick doesn't look quite real, due to the painted effect. I'm also not sure about the light line bisecting the top area of the photo, as it maybe detracts from the inherent mystery of the two little boys on the path. However, I do find this captivating and it made me look several times.
