the blues are breathtaking and this is a nice application of selective desaturation (without selecting anything)

Some diffusion would help minimize that bright spot. Or maybe if you cropped that out so we can focus on the beautiful pattern in the rock/marble blue thing.

The true measure of elegance is simple and refined - this image meets that criteria with an inventive use of color, shape and texture. The excellant DOF just flows with the overall concept of smooth. The only flaw is the white bloom while not overdone by any means, doesn't assist the image which is an unfortunate by product of the lighting. The little reflections towards the top of the stone are also just a touch annoying. Overall a good solid effort and worthy of consideration as a top ten image.
