I like how symmetrical this is, at least for the wings, the colors really pop with selective desat.

Good selective desaturation. The background could use more contrast though.

Beautiful butterfly! Great design & color. Wish it was a bit sharper/detailed and the color popped a little more - Still nice though.

Oh! Fabulous. Truly. I really like the out of balance background throwing the viewer out of balance and then the subject popping the viewer back to center. Well done. I hope this does well for you.

Great idea using the selective desaturation to enhance the symmetrical pattern in the butterflie's wings.

I think this works and I'm not a huge fan of selective desaturation. I wish the beautiful butterfly were a tad more sharp. :~)

I like the desaturation but the moth could have been a bit sharper

interesting selective desat, the vines in the background are a distraction. If you could make this a little cleaner , there is a nice Japanese feel to this shot., 6

Beautiful shot!
It is just such symmetry and design in nature that reveals a glimpse of the Creator...

beautiful moth / butterfly - love the red / black / white on the wings, and the detail on the body. Nice selective desat on the rest of the shot.

I like this, and normally I don't care for selective desat. I like that he's not ubercrisp - the softness really adds to him, I think.

Beautifully done; partial desat works well and the various shapes in the composition are nice. Only wish that lower left shadow was not there; it kinda' spoils the symmetry for me.

selective desat works quite well , but the b&w should have better contrast.

I'm not usually impressed with selected de-sat images but this one is a stand out to me. I love that little butterfly. I've never seen one just like it. If I had to name it, Geisha would certainly do it. Beautiful.
