This was my second choice. My first choice was going to be a picture of my parents that I didn't want to get slammed on during a challenge (too personal and I would've gotten upset where usually I can let it roll off of me).

This is a pic of my two girls setting up a lemonade stand for the shot. Taken at early dusk.

This was one of my 5 challenge favorites and I gave you a 10.
I love this pic! Should have placed higher!

I keep getting weird color commentary during this image.

Seriously, it's YELLOW in the lemons. SOmeone mentioned peach--au contraire mon frere, YELLOW.

We must all recalibrate our monitors.

:-D

Thank you all for mostly lovely commentary! I had hoped this would've done a bit better but I am cool with the scores.

The way you desaturated and colored this is Amazing and Brave!

Love it!

Nice image, the yellow makes the shot for me.

I find the background a little distracting. I don't normally care for selective desaturation, but I think that it works fairly well here. The lemons look almost peach colored; hue shifting them a bit closer to true yellow would have given this more of a kick.

Interesting use of desat. Feels like the 50's. Would be perfect if the cutting board was wood and the cup wasn't plastic.

Great take on the challenge. If the lemonade was a bit more yellowish rather than orangish I would have given this a higher score. Well done though.

Great image, the desaturation is really cool. The title seems way too long though.

yes! title makes sense...but image has WAY too much of that neat image stuff for my taste

I think a little bit more DOF would benefit this.

Cute idea...I really like the selective desat. here...subtle and just the perfect amount of yellow...again, great idea and well executed.

Very cute but the color could be boosted a bit more

Great !!! I like the arms framing the lemonade and the background is genuis.

I gotta say that "dime & lemonade" works great as a title. I'm not sure why people ilke to put 2 different titles on their images. Although it shouldn't take away from the picture itself, it does for me. I like the subtle colors in this by the way.
