| I like the selective desat, but think the change from B/W is a bit abrupt - you can probably transition it a little more softly with a semi-transparent brush. I'd also probably clone out the bug (ant?) on the top bloom. Love the bee on the right. Nice composition and color. Focus seems to be just a hair off. Good DOF. Overall very nice. |

| your portfolio has some interesting studies and good subjects, I like the found object black feather the best and this is another. The rendering of selective desaturation on the depth of field is an obvious choice & the right design decision. Your color off desat on the background works for this, and is arresting, but I think the effect usually is employed too strongly and think so for this one too. An option might be to fade the selective color gradually, still keeping some, maybe just a slight amount of color. The fade would still keep the drama of your intention to isolate and enhance the character of the strong floral stem, but provide a more engaging and subtle color transition. Very good eye for subject. |

| very nice, I like your edit on this one, makes the great colors stand out much more. Maybe off center it just a bit. Very pretty subject. |

| Nice use of selective desat. Clone out that spider web at the right and maybe crop a little more off the right to lose that one little spec of green from another flower. I really like the bokeh effect on this also. |
