I really really like this photo,especially the deep blue in the puppy's eyes

In this case I think the picture would be better without the selective coloring, or at least toned down some. Lke the composition, pose and begging eyes.

Wow the grain is cool and of course those blues eyes are great.

The blue eyes are disturbing.

Interesting use of desaturation and a cute puppy. The reflection in the left eye is quite distracting.

This looks more like soft focus than grain to me. I like keeping the eye color, but it doesn't look like the real color. (If it is, those are the bluest eyes on a dog I've ever seen!)

Personally I do not like these artificially blue and unnatural eyes in this otherwise very nice picture.

I feel that the composition layout is good, but the image is eld back with poor focus. Also, I feel that the colour of the eyes is a bit over-saturated. JMO.

There's some great grain here, and I really like the composition - not fond of how out of focus it is, though, and I would really prefer that the selective desaturation be total desaturation. Your contrast is great, the subject is adorable, and overall the shot is definitely appealing - nice image! The only thing I really don't like is the oversaturated blue. Good luck, you've met the challenge well :)

This seems more out of focus than grainy. And the blue is way too much.

Awwwww! How adorable! The eyes are maybe a bit too blue, but what a cutie!

I see an out of focus image, not a grainy one.

I would have liked this much more without the eyes.
