I completely desaturated the red, magenta, and green colors, lowered the saturation for the yellows, and slightly raised the saturation for cyans and blues. I then adjusted levels, cropped and resized for submission.

I do like this shot a lot, but really want to see those eyes looking more into the camera!

Nice portrait though I am not keen on the grey pallor of the skin... I assume you've desaturated reds or something? I think I'd prefer to see this with more life in the skin. I really like the choice of background.

There's a really delicate, subtle, warm beauty to this photo. I can see you desaturated the red channel to get this effect. Great work. The lighting is very soft and the composition is strong. The expression on the face is kind of innocent and dreamy. I like this a lot.

Beautiful shot. IMHO the blue netting really distracts the eye taking the focus off the child. The child however is in focus and is a great b&w.

I find the background too distracting, it overpowers the image too much. The focal point should be the blue eyes, but they are hidden.
I do like the composition though, and the contrast between the face and the background is very strong.

The background being blue seems to take away from the eye being blue. If all the colors except blue were taken out of hte picture leaving the face black and white (which it seems) then the background is definately too distracting. It's hard to tell that the face is black and white, my eye sees a lot of color and sort of assumes the face should be colored too. a different background would make this shot better.

The overall blue tint is not appeling to me when photographing the human form.

Lovely photo of a child. Would liked the blue background to be more solid, however. It's a bit distracting to me. Sitll, a nice photo.

The use of B&W/colour works well for this shot.

Beautiful profile of a beautiful child. Would like to see just a very little more eye, not much just a little more. But beautifully done. Would be an 8 for me. PTL
