returning for comments;
A very nice se-sat effect. There is a disparity of light values, observe the 9-10 zome on the book and absent elsewhere. Regardless, bumping up to 6.

Witht he thickness and style of that book, I'm not sure this qualifies as "free" time, but it certainly looks like it will take more than a Fall afternoon to wade through.

Strange white artifacts around the guy. I think your selection is not quite accurate. Shame, because the idea is pretty good.

Interesting photo, but I do not see that the selective desaturation helps the photo.

Interesting capture... good contrast...like that accent on blue.

I really like the feel and composition in this one. My two nit-picks are that I personally don't think the de-sat works in this particular case with these tones, and the image appears jagged in places (like the book).

I like the dream-like blur

Great photo! The lighting is a tad dark, but not bad. The soft focus on the lower right is a bit eye-catching, which you may not want people to notice, but it's not bad. i love the composition, tone, and lighting! Great job overall!

Wow- I really like the idea of this image. The composition is great, obviously well shot. I really like selective desat in certain situations, but it doesn't work for me at all here- it detracts instead of lending itself to the theme. there's also something really weird going on with the book, as if it was way oversharpened. Giving this a 5 for it's pros and cons.
