| This photo doesn't seem much desaturated in anyplace. Nothing seems to be gained by the color versus grays. More of the motorcycle shown might make it more interesting. |

| Sexy. But I don't think the blue was necessary. |

| Nice but there's a lot of detail lost in the dark/black areas. |

| On revisit - it's a well taken shot - just confusing with two main subjects. I would have chosen between the model and the motorcycle to desaturate. I think the whole thing in color with the model desat would have made a good composition or vice versa. The bike has too many greyscale colors to make a good desat object. Excellent workmanship isolating the color areas from the backgound. Great job. |

| I'd have desaturated the bike too as this way it draws attention away from the model. |

| I find the background incredibly distracting. |

The idea is good, but the background and lighting hurt the shot. The background is messy and the light is so that it creates very hard shadows. Use a second light behind the MC to get some backlight for your model and a fill light for your background. To make the background look less messy:
a) Use another background, or
b) Increase the distance between the MC and the background and use a wide aperture (like F2.8 or less) to let the shallow dof blur it into oblivion.
The model's pose makes it look like we are looking from the wrong side. This feeling is also enhance by the way the steer stands pointing away from the viewer. |

| Very nice picture. The blue with the tone of her skin and the black motorcycle contrast well. Love it. |

hmmmm.... I don't know.... Woulda prefered, hmm, red? ::grin:: And borrowed chaps just never fit quite right...
::grin::
Damn nice bike, though!
(obviously meant in jest, folks... Actually, I think the focus is great and the skin tones are perfect. Unfortunately, I also think there's too much color for the theme, and because both the bike and the model were left colored, they end up fighting for attention. But it really is a damn nice bike! Cute chick, too! lol) |

| Lots of glare here that you could've tried to eliminate. Even the backdrop is distracting. |

| This has potential...but I do find the model's pose to be a bit forced and unnatural, like she is quite uncomfortable. It's also difficult to discern whether or not this is a post desat or simply a "desaturated" environment from the start. The background is too bright for my taste; a solid black without much detail would lend itself well to the subject. Softer lighting on the model's skin might also look better, or a pass through NeatImage. I'd also like to see the whole bike, or have it at a different angle. Of course, all of these are my opinions. :o) |

| Nice sporty. Maybe a better background-something less distracting. The tank and air cleaner look a bit oof to me. |

| Excellent choice of where to desaturate, works very well indeed. Love this one. |
