This is one of the better and more effective uses of selective desaturation that I have seen recently. The nice light and the softness add quite a bit to the storyline in this photo... excellent work...

The title and photo work well together. This shoot definately makes the viewer think "passion". 10

Comment by Nitin:
Nice! Should place in the top 10.
A little more 'exposure' might have helped ;-)

Awesome photo! I like the pose. The black & white photo with the dress in red is a good effect!
Hope you get a ribbon!

Beautiful and sensous image. My only nit-pick is overly obvious postprocessing (blurring and sharpening?) on the hair and the hands on the left.

This is good shot. Its got a bit of noise on the bottom of the photo, so I was curious and pulled it up and used neat image on it only removing half the noise and man what a difference it made on the red....9
