Bumping up to 6. I like this image very much because the composition and lighting work very well, however, the desat does not appear to blend in and complete the image. The composition is great.

Nice SD ,the flowers in the foreground are a bit distracting.like the mountains in the background.

Nice concept, but I think it's overdone. Less saturated flowers might look better, or possibly different colors.

This is my second go-around =) - excellent choice of location! I really like your composition, use of b&w w/selective color. Very nice!

I think this is an amazing composition, and great tonal range and lighting captured. My two nit-picks are that the flowers are too bright and plastic looking for me (I think I would have not kept them in color) and the foreground details a bit soft for my taste.

Good graveyard and clear capture. Maybe a bit too much colour there in the non-desat part (on my monitor). And in a funny position - maybe woud have been better if on a thirds line. Not sure that the backlighting is really working here.

Loved the photo! I wonder what it would look like if more of the flowers were color but faded in Saturation as they are further away from the tulips?? One of my top picks!

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

I like it. Love how you left the color in the flowers. Good job.

A good overall picture, but personally I don't like the colored tuips.
The tombstones look a little dark too.
The background of mountains is great as are the clouds.

I like the contrast and backlighting, but in this case I feel the color detracts rather than adds to shot.
