In Loving Memory

Something's not quite right. I love the idea and the composition of the shot, but the face on the angel is so dirty or deteriorated it really loses a lot. Also, the poppy...hm...not sure what's wrong there. Too bright maybe? It looks fake, even if it's not. It APPEARS as if it was creatively photoshopped in. Maybe if it was toned down, made to be a softer shade of red?

I'd like to see this with the butterfly being in color and everything else grayscale. It's ok as is, but that butterfly is so bright in white, I have to wonder what it looks like in color. Also, since it is in the foreground and the focal point, I think leaving it the only thing in color would really increase the impact of the shot. Great composition and I love the depth of field.

This is reminisent of the photography of the early days of cinema..20s and 30s maybe. Your model has a great look and the apple is a fun touch of color. I like this a lot.

Beautiful image! I love how you can see right up into the balloon to see so much of the flame. Great focus and composition and perfect use of selective desaturation. Good luck in the challenge. You should do well.

This is an interesting flower and nice composition, but what does the selective desaturation do to enhance it? Is the shot better for it? Here's my thinking, if only one blossom was opened and that one blossom was colored, then it would make the selective desat important to the shot, making that blossom POP. I think as it is, with several blooms open, had you only colored the open ones and not the closed one (leaving the mostly closed ones maybe a very pale shade of blue), it would be a tad more effective. Just a observation since I can't vote and your score is not affected. Nice background and I like the sepia.

One of the few "eye" shots I actually kinda like. Different. Interesting.

Priceless. I don't know how else to say it. For my money, this is the perfect capture and my top pick of the challenge. Unfortunately, I can't help with a vote, but if I could, 10 all the way. Great job.

This is too funny! I love it!! You're title is hysterical. I wish I could vote just so I could give you a 10 for making me giggle so early on a Monday morning. Thanks.

This is a great image. I love it. Not only is your use of selective desaturation appropriate, it's almost necessary for this shot to be as strong as it is. I love the texture of the rocks and the clouds. Good luck.
