		| | My top pick...and I am no fan of selective desaturation. It really works here, though. Beautiful lighting and composition. With its emotive content this image has a life outside the confines of this challenge. |

			|  | 06/11/2006 10:04:27 PM | 
		| | This is one I really like. Simple and to the point. The light through the door lighting up the dress works really well. Good luck in the challenge! |

		| | Good time to use this technique; nice job with the lighting and angles. For some reason, I think your "message" might come across better if the dress were some color other than a passionate red, maybe mourning purple or some othe "cold" color. |

		| | perfect adn well executed. awesome black and gray and bright white and red. The only reason I wouldn't give it a ten, is that in my own mind I don't see it as a extraordinary photographic achievement, its a great technique that would work just as well on film. That being said, you still get a ten because its as good as anything else in the challenge, and much better than anything I could do; good luck. |

		| | not totally enthused with the title (lacks a certain subtlety!) but the image itself is wonderfully composed and expertly presented.  you've given a bona fide excuse for selective desat, which i feel is more often than not used totally wrongly.  it works GLORiously here.  every detail / element is perfectly positioned and treated - the light from the door, the door, the way the hanger appears to be floating.  it gives the impression that you took a lot of care and attention to get this shot just so.  easily one of my favourites this week.  10. |

		| | I think this will do very well.  Good lighting, subject and selective desat.  I would have been tempted to clone out the power points on the walls and maybe crop a little tigher at the bottom, that's just nitpicking :-) |

		| | I am not voting, unfortunately, I don't have time to go through the whole challenge.  But I was curious to see the submissions and yours is just fantastic.  I love the selected desat, the light and shadow play and the hues of the walls and door.  Not to mention the story the image tells.  I hope you place high in the challenge!  :) |
