Nice processing with lovely textures. I like the red flowers interspersing the grey's and breaking the monotony.

I really like the selective desaturation in this shot... just wish there were more flowers on the hilside.

Wow, this desat looks like it might have taken a long time to do. Nice depth here but it lacks a bit of clarity that would make it stand out more.

the red poppies add just the perfect touch

Interesting red flowers in an otherwise monochrome shot.

I like the subject and composition, not so sure about the selective desaturation. Perhaps if the red/orange colors were not as saturated it would work better for me.

Love the desat love the leading line

I like the bits of red, but I keep going back to the building at the top and wishing there was more of it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

this seems over sharpened to me? the idea of using the selective color elements was good, but I think there needed to be more of the poppies (?) to really work well

It's to contrasty for my tastes but those poppies really stand out with your selective desaturation.

Good shot. I like the colored flowers.

nice tones , but I don't see how the selective desat help strenghten the shot. 6

Love the effect of the bright red scattered poppies.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:05:35 PM
it took me a while to figure out what the orange is.....still not sure at first thought it was leaves than maybe poppies back to thinking leaves?

funky landscape.. I'm liking this a whole bunch!

I really like the desat on this; It works quite nicely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:50:23 PM
Great use of selective desat. Very rich sepia tones, and just the right amount of flower spots.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:40:54 AM
Simple leading lines work well. The selective desat is interesting but this whole image feels over sharpened.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:00:35 AM
The selective saturation doesn't work for me in this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:44:53 AM
Great textures and color.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:32:26 AM
Like the selective desat; the red (poppies?) lead my eye up the hill just as surely as the edge of the hill does on the other side.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:41:17 AM
nice touch with the red flowers
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:41:44 PM
really like the "pop's" of color...very interesting...maybe a little over sharpened
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:16:13 PM
nice desaturation

 03/12/2009 02:20:41 PM

great part desat job
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Almost like you've used selective desat here, the reds really stand out here which is brilliant, and then I see the other colours. Nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:22:57 AM
The splashes of color add nicely to the overall feel of this shot. Well done.

cool use of desat to make the red flowers stand out
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:58:35 PM
The flowers really make this picture. Nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:26:17 AM
selective desaturation does not help here, because there is not enough of the poppies, in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting bursts of colour.
