Greetings fromt the Critique Club
It figures I'd draw one of the top shots of last week as my second CC!
Composition
I love the things you did include - the newspaper IS black and white and it makes the photo look a lot more believable than if you'd had your hand over a flower garden full of b/w flowers. I would have liked to been able to see your whole hand, but that's minor.
Color
Amazing - I still have yet to make one of these fully desat except one color pictures. I LOVE the concept and it strikes me every time I see it. The color you chose was brilliant. It stands out very well.
Depth of field
I'm not sure how this would look with a slightly smaller DOF. Maybe we'd be able to less clearly see the paper, but I think you'd lose the clarity on the brush. I see the spots behind the can, though, and I almost wish that more was out of focus in this way.
Subject matter
You nailed the challenge perfectly. Color is the defining aspect of this shot. It's beautiful and the subject of paint for a color challenge is obviously appropriate.
Overall
I gave this shot a 9. I love it. It placed extremely well and you don't need me to tell you it's beautiful. Is there a print available, and if not, why not?

| I usually don't like this "desaturate all but one colour" shot, but this work for me. I like the inclusion of the brush and paint on the newspaper. Good luck. Jcko. 8 |

| VERY striking photo! The desaturation of everything but the rich blue creates a beautiful effect, and draws all the attention back to the color. Newspaper is a nice touch, because it makes the desaturation seem all the more natural. --9 |

| Was thinking about doing something similar only with a foot (only me the the foot's owner got into a little argument Sunday night)... Nicely done.. 9 |

| Now this is a very different photo. Like the dark blue in this black and white image. The blue sets it off rather nicely. Great work. |

| You just gotta love this photo! The blue looks very vivid due to the desaturation of all the other colors. The idea is good and you made the best out of it - 9. |
