		| I'm a big fan of that bridge and you got a great shot.... I've not 'seen' that framing before... I'll keep my eye open the next time I go up the hill. Have you ever seen the colored beacons that eminate from the top of the Trans America on Foggy nights?  I'm PO'd that I cant go up there 'legally' at night to get shots of the city! You've planted a few more photographic seeds for me with this shot! |

		w24x192 - Nope, selective desaturation is allowed.
 
 edwalk74 - Thanks for taking "stupid" out of your comment. I agree, in part, about the title. It amused me though so I left it as is.
 
 just-married - The desaturation isolates the foreground frame (what is supposed to be the main subject in this challenge) from the background, bringing more attention to it.
 
 Joey Lawrence - I did follow the rules, dude.
 
 PhilipDyer - This was shot with a Sigma 100-300 f4 EX IF APO HSM. It's cropped but a little ways off from 100%. Would have liked to use a larger lens but I don't have one. There was no way to desaturate the vertical cables and stay within basic editing.
 
 nikabika7 - In PS use the Hue/Saturation command and slide the saturation for every color except the reds to -100. |

		| The capture is terrific.  I don't think the desaturation adds anything to this photo.  6 |

		| Really great Golden Gate shot. You must have a pretty sweet lens to get in this close - or this is a full-size crop. :-) The desaturation looks great, but you might also want to desat the vertical bridge cables where they appear in color in front of the light buildings. Really nice shot! |

		Very nice...the title could have been a little classier and simple but I won't mark you down because of it. 7.

		| cool idea here but maybe you could have cropped it more to make it a vertical photo? |

		| Awesome. The selective desat here I think works really well. It definitely makes your framing stand out. Great composition. Nice job. |

		| *great* POV.. and the selective desaturation really works.  Good thing downtown San Fran doesn't have more red buildings eh? :) |
