I thought this was you! Great desat colors. Something different from you.

oe, intense look! the colored eyes look a bit weird to me, I think I'd like it better without color.

I love the emotion in the eyes, but selective desat makes the whites of the eyes look a little pink (on my screen at least)

Iteresting coloration with the B&W

A strong visual character presentation with a wise desat to compete for top attention. Very sharp and very good lighting. Bump.

I think I would have liked it better had the whole picture been desaturated, maybe with a little dodging of the eyes to make them stand out. :D

I don't care for the selective coloring, but it is a great portrait nonetheless.

the pink hue to your eyes give off a kind of "infectious" look. like pink-eye.

Nice............9

I simply love the crop and the selective desat., only one little flaw, the whites of your eyes look somewhat pink. But anyway still one of my fav's. 8

the PP on this with selective colouring makes this image for me 7

nice detail and selective desat. good luck dude. :P

I don't like the coloring to this. The black and white is alright and even the selective saturation on the colored parts of the eyes but the magenta and other colors in the whites of the eyes are a big distraction in my opinion

I know you!!! Don't look so stern, I know you're just an old softy! Great eyes.

Eyes stand out too much. Reduce opacity and it may make them look better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ooooh. . .nice touch with the selectively desat'd eyes. Haunting!
