**************************

Wanted to answer the question on the selective desat. The reason I kept it for the people is that I wanted to emphasize how content they were. To me, the fact that they were in color, illustrated that their world was smiling because of each other -- no matter how desolate their surroundings.

The desaturation works good on the background and trees, but I don't see why you should keep it for the people.

Lovely interpretation, particularly since they're older.

Like the overall lighting. The selective color doesn't really work for me in this photo. When I first looked at this photo I didn't notice that the surroundings were B/W. I knew something didn't feel right but it took a while to realize that the B/W background was what was bothering me.
