Comment by Kylie:
Good perspective and unusual location. I think the blue may look at bit too "electric" and almost glowing. The car appears to be disjointed from the rest of the picture, perhaps due to this striking contrast. Completely personal and not part of my score -- I don't find "new" cars very interesting, but enjoy pictures of classics and customs more for photography.

Comment by doctornick:
Did you paint the car blue instead of desaturating only the surroundings? The way to do that is to create 2 layers, desaturate the top later then erase the car from the top layer so that the colour of the car in the background layer shows up. Voila you've got a selectively desaturated image.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
I like the idea, and the rendering of the sky and power lines. The blue of the car seems unnatural and makes the car seem out of place IMHO.

Ooooh...your blues are way oversaturated and IMHO ruins the effect...

Interesting photo, however I think that the saturation on the car was way overdone.

Comment by L1:
The desat technique itself is done well, but I think that in this particular setting it isn't working for me. It appears that you used some kind of color overlay, which really gives the car an unnatural appearance in a natural setting. I don't have a problem with the power lines or towers, and it might have helped to have used the power theme to your advantage with a different title, or maybe red instead of blue...of course, these are just my opinions. Good luck! :o)

The car is colored in, it looks out of place.

Comment by indianzfan:
This picture immediately looked to me like you colored it instead of using selective desaturation. There is a blue tint to every part of the car. I may be wrong but that's what I see.

Comment by difarnecio:
did you mask the entire car and apply hue/saturation? It's selective desaturation. Why not try the history brush or something similar. It might have worked a little better this way. This looks like a blue blob. Nice mask work though.
