I agree, I think Desaturation is one of the worst ideas in photography and not the best way to kick off DPL.

Given that, there are a few very compelling shots in challenge (mine isn't one of them). Those photos really make it a joy to vote. Desaturation is a tough one to get right. Those who do get that magic formula though, you understand the point of desat.


quoting you but also directed at the OP. are you talking about selective desat or all black and white?

To the OP: have i mentioned today that I love you. I love the way you start threads and point out all the things that I was unaware I should hate.

B&W as well as selective desat can be very eye catching and good if done right. Especially with selective desat it is a lot more than just photography it is art. It decide what to desat and how to do it takes more of an artist eye than a photographer eye to do it well. I think it's a great way to kick off DPL, it gets everyone thinking about photography, processing and art. Withut all three as a whole, photography can be boring.

Desaturating is a boring subject for a contest, most photo entered, including mine, are dull and not worth the trouble, taking or looking at. There is only one unique photo that is interesting and worth considering. I have given it a 10.


Nobody made you enter.

Nobody is making you vote.

Nobody wants to hear you bitch about it.
