		| | Sarah...I think they are both lovely; I personally prefer the tulip one.  The text on the dandelion one is a bit difficult to read on my monitor (crappy LCD), then again it could be my aging eyes.  Pretty pictures!  :o)

		| | How did you do the desaturation on the pictures? 
 I mean I know how to desaturate, but what did you use mask, layers,...?

		| | Personally I prefer the dandilion, but they are both beautiful. I left you comments on them with my suggestions of very small improvements, if you'd like.

		| | I really like the tulips.  Unless your mom is has a thing for dandelions, I would go with the flower shot. |

		| | Im not sure if I desaturate right or not, but this is the only way I know how to do it.. -layer via copy
 -set background color to black
 -brush set to color
 -just brush over where I want to loose color, and when I mess up, I use the eraser tool and it brings the color back.
 Tell me what I should do!!! :)

		| | And my reason for the dandilion... 
 When I was little I always picked them for my mom! And now, my little girl is always picking them for me...I know its a weed, but it just screams out "I love you!!"

 I figured the dandelions might have some sort of history with your family.  It is a nice shot of a dandelion too, but I'm going to stick with the tulip choice and particularly because I like the focus and I think you did a great job on the desaturation.  It would make any mother proud.
