 Went out looking for flowers and found this huge pile in the cemetery. I thought it a bit of a different shot for this challenge.

Doubt it will be well received, but you can always hope.

This is a photo filled with sadness. I guess this person must have been well loved in his lifetime.

Nice selective coloring. It works well for this.

This picture really could have benefited from having the size maximised .. up to a 640 pixels on the longest edge.

I like the use of desat here. It really gives a lot to the meaning of the photo instead of just being used for the sake of using it. However, I think this would probably score higher if you were to use the full 640 pixel size limit.

The image is just too busy ... too much to look at with nothing for your eyes to really land on. Zoom in / simplify / look either for a strong subject or a strong pattern without a subject.

The selective desat is interesting ... but not too useful in that it's so small it's almost unnoticeable at a quick glance. But at least it does force the gaze upon the flowers rather than the grass.

That's one load of flowers! I don't think the selective desat on this works.
