The selective desaturation here seems to be the 'because I can' variety rather than something that adds to the image.

beautiful

Very nice shot, but the desat does not work for me.

very artistic with the floating leaves but for me natural history shots should be as they are, I dont think desaturation is a valid tool in this area .3

Came back to bump this up a notch. BOL

A 10 from me this is wonderful such a pretty image
I hope you do well

The selective use of color is interesting, but for a bird challenge, it really switches focus to the plant. Did you try color for the plant & the bird? That might work better.

Wonderful use of selective desat.
Sweet and emotive photo.

I like this, but I'm not so sure about selective desat being used on this one.
06/14/2005 12:23:21 PM
aww that's just so cute! great idea with keeping the colour just on the foilage
06/14/2005 10:40:08 AM
desat really draws attention away from the subject - this is the opposite of what I am sure you intended.
06/14/2005 09:38:19 AM
I would have rather seen this all in colour, all B&W or as a nice duotone.
06/14/2005 05:35:25 AM
Sorry but I am not a big fan of selective desaturation, I can tell you right away I would have scored this even higher if it had been in colour or all in b/w. Anyway, I still like this shot a lot, it lives up to it´s title and it makes me curious what is in store for this little duckling and the vegetation adds to the shot. Good job.

Awwww. . . I LOVE this!!!! What a great job you did at turning a photograph of an ordinary baby duckling into something truly amazing and incredible!!! The water dripping off his beak, the selective desaturated greenery, and even the black and white. I love taking pictures of ducks, and this makes me want to go take one like this :) 10

Adorable! 9

Oh this is terrific. I like the coloration technique you used. Not overly done in the contrast deparement. Very well focused. Good choice of cropping. The black frame is perfect. This is a winner! 10

9 love the desaturation.
06/13/2005 09:14:28 AM
Interesting desat. choice. I like it.
06/13/2005 07:41:26 AM
is the subject the plants or duck. To me desaturation doesn't work on this shot. Everything else is quite nice though.
06/13/2005 02:01:38 AM
Well captured ... well done and good luck
06/13/2005 12:46:33 AM
That's a very sweet image. I like your color treatment. Good Luck? 9

This is a extraordinary image, excellent choice for selective desaturation, already added to my faves. Very nice work, good luck in the challenge. 10
