Black and White with Bue candy

Thanks for the comment. I know as a whole the candy takes away. But I added the story just now to give it meaning. It was a capture that meant something about my photographic history with my kids, if that makes any sense. And his favorite color is blue, so he always eats the blue ones first :)

The desat is done very well but here's my opinion of the image as a whole.

The boys face is nice and sharp however the blue thingy is a distraction more than an asset to the image.

I, personally, am not a huge fan of selective desat photos but it worked for you. I think a tad more DOF would have made this photo better but your SD worked fine. I think if you cropped it in on the left just to almost his head, it would balance out nicer. I find it just a tad left heavy, but that could just be me.

At any rate, super job on your first go at it for sure!

Hi Julie. I can't believe I'm seeing this image here in this challenge after you'd posted it and garnered substantial feedback on how to improve it, etc...

Generally, that's considered poor etiquette for challenge entries. Blows the whole anonymity thing and all - plus with all the feedback you've, in essence, collaborated on the creation of this (which is also a no-no, this one's in the rules).

I understand you're pretty new to this. Perhaps I'm only one of a few that've noticed this and will remember it from the forum. :)

Good luck!

A wonderful portrait, but for me it's just too bright. Would have liked to see some more detail in her face and shirt.
