Not a fan of selective desaturation and the pieces of flower laying around in the grass is distracting. You should have removed the color from those pieces.

I hope you're not getting beat up as bad as I did for selective desat. I think it looks cool.

It's fun to play with selective saturation/desaturation. In this case, there are extraneous bits of flower petals that should've been converted to gray instead of being left red. The red chunk between the two top blooms is one example. The same thing happens between and near the foreground pair of red flowers, and the stray bits on the top headstone are also distracting.

This is just my opinion and what I see, please don't take it personally.

I don't care for the selective desaturation and here's why. First the grass itself is hard to remove color from when you're using a paint brush tool in photoshop or similar program. You also missed a spot just in front, in the middle of those the two front flowers and through out the photo in other spots as well.

Also when you desaturate an object it is pretty much saying ignore me. With the challenge being graveyard I would think you would inverse the desat so everything else was ignored except the tombstones.

There are a few other things I could critique in this image and I can do so if you like, for now I will just leave it there.

Not all minds work the same and not everyone see's the same images when photographing them so again, This is just my opinion and what I see, please don't take it personally.

Image very centred and the post processing lacks professionalism. The idea could've been better executed.
