I snuck this photo of some family friends who were visiting while they were playing "Sequence."

I'm fairly new to this calibur of digital photography and this is my first challenge entry, so my intent is to get my feet wet and get some feedback and learn a li...as much as I can. (So, PS, don't rip my head off unless you plan to do it with sincere benevolence!)

Rotate, Resize, Selective Desaturate

Thanks for the feedback. My reason for doing the selective desaturation was this: I'd never done it before and I figured I'd try my hand at a new technique. At this early a stage of experience, I didn't expect to do very well and that allowed me a freedom to "goof off" and just try and learn some things.

Wow, I looks like all the commenters didn't like the selective desaturation (better luck next try with it).

Still pretty good for a first entry though =).

Nice candid shot, but I'm not sure the selective desat was neccessary here. For me anyway.

The desat really doesn't work here, IMO

IMHO this is a good example of selective desat that doesn't really have a purpose. A totaly b/w treatment (once again MHO) would probably work better.

There's a lot tolike here, but the very arbitray selective desaturation takes this out of the candid category in my mind. The finger under his chin is oddly distracting. It would be far less so if the BG hadn't been desatted.
