| I think this would have worked better had you left the leaves green. I like what you're going for but I think her eyes are green and maybe the leaf color would have been a nice compliment. |

| The desaturation of the leaves makes this image look oddly artificial. Bouncing more light onto the model's face would have helped keep both the shadows and highlights on her face properly exposed. |

| I would need to see the original to confirm, but I think I would prefer the leaves not having been desaturated. the light on the face is a little strong. |

| I like the selective desaturation effect, although some might think it's distracting. 7 |

i do not care for the selective desat in this photo. I believe a rich green leaf would be much more dinamic.
The only "D" here is in the title, and we must take your word for it that the model actually is called darcy. |

| Good capture and I love the selective desat. The name "Darcy and Leaves" is not an obvious D&L if the viewer does not know the name of the model though |

| Interesting take on portraiture, nice model who seems comfortable with posing, good focus and depth of field. Although generally I have nothing against selective desaturation, in this case I do not think that it's a wise visual design choice, as it creates a rather heavy imbalance. Additionally, the strong and directional light not only causes problems with exposure (i.e. blown highlights), but also creates those not-so-attractive strips of shadows on the model's face. I'd try to get this shot under more diffuse lighting and also go with a straight-on and tight composition. |

| This might have looked good with a slight desat on the leaves. Or no desat at all. Still a nice picture though. |

| Cute idea, but I find the selective desaturation too unnatural. Also, the highlights on her face are a bit too bright. |
