nice detail and the selective desat works, but personally it isn't something i would have on my wall. the composition seems just a tad stagnant, i agree with the comment about maybe turning the leaf a bit
I love everything about this except for the placement of the leaf in the composition (i.e. I wish I could turn it around a little so it isn't sooooo straight :-)
I have to agree. The color here is very good and the selective desat really makes the subject pop. The leaf detail also is excellent. Nothing much to improve in my book.
Wow, i think you've done an excellent job with selective colouring! Great focus, too! I really like this shot and think you did a great job! Good lighting too!
