 I wanted to do a selective desaturation for this but one that was perhaps a little different and subtle.... like a hand-tinted sepia print. Not sure whether this has succeeded or not.

It looks bigger large, I don't think it will get out of the 5s.

Completely ignored by the masses, but in a way, I like that. It means that there is an elite group who appreciate your art. We can be snobs. ROFL Love it.

I enjoy the muted tones of this image, gives it a certain mood that full saturation wouldn't.

Great photo! Very sharp and with great contrast, but the burst of color doesn't burst.

really really like this shot! i like the somewhat muted colors, but her lips still pop. I think that the eyes are just a little over processed, but still a nice shot!. The DOF is great! 8

Not really bursting with colour, but it's a great shot!

The desaturated image makes a great image. This image is all about the softness and emotion (love, sultry, seduction, sadness, something to that effect). The red lips even play into that emotive feeling. But in a burst of color challenge, I think it was a poor choice to enter.

Very nice. The red is subtle but we are still drawn to it. I love your edit. Lovely.
