I really like the selective desaturation - it works very well. Nicely done!

sorry, this is just too confusing. i would have preferred you to either have shot a portrait or a landscape, but not try to cram both into one, especially when you've done such a nice bw conversion. the desat leaves her looking very much pasted in. the top of the photo, without her, is very strong, in and of itself.

I love the composition and the detail. I may have preferred it either all n duotone, or all in color.

I like the depth and comp, the desat doesn't add anything to the image, IMO.

Damn those selective saturation pictures. The red blouse takes all the attention from the cool surroundings.

hmm, great photo ... but in my opinion the model is just distracting the viewer from extraordinary landscape shot since the photo uses boring selective desaturation technique, so in my opinion without the model i would score tis 9 now i have to give 5

This is so beautiful! I love that rugged terrain and the emotion of how she is composed in the shot!

wow, what a place...I am not sure about the selective desaturation here, but it seems to work OK...the composition is great as is the crispness and contrast
