Nice photo. Selective desat seems a bit unnecessary though.

Great picture, as simple as that.

I'm sure this pic would have worked even without the selective destat.. still good work

Sorry, have never really been a fan of selective desat and especially when I don´t see it having a purpouse and that is the case for me here, to me it seems the selective desat has no purpouse and I am 99% sure I would have liked the color version or a plain b/w version much better. Not a bad shot though, gave it a 5.

the color looks so great in the sky i kinda wish that you hadn't used either ifrared or color desaturation, a good example of progress though

I know you desaturated everything but the blue but I think it would look better if you had desaturated the blue a little.

I love this fun enviro portrait! Fab use of PS tools! Great contrast between blue sky and B&W!

This is my winner (I only pick one picture to give a 10 to). Most of the time, the B&W conversion with a spot of color is cheesy, but this picture does it well. I think it captures what summer progress is all about. I hope it does well and others agree this is the best. Good luck.

It's a cool photo in a way but I don't see why you chose the edit you did. Part of the 'farmers' shoes are missing and I think that takes away from the photo.

I'm not entirely sure, not being well-versed in agronomy, but I doubt the hay bales are rolled by one guy and a pitchfork. I could be wrong. Composition is quite nice, but I'd prefer it either all in color, or all in B&W.

The desat works very well here. Love the sky and the whole scene.

Sweet. Reminds me of a Van Gogh. I find myself wanting a little more detail in the figure...maybe more face detail, or maybe hands?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the composition, content and lighting. Hate the selective desaturation, sorry. This would have been a 9 in colour or black and white.

your sky looks great

Good idea with desaturation. Clouds looks really like painted. Pitty you cropped of the shoe.

excellent ... a winner maybe ? i like it a lot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not sure if i'd have desaturated the lower half, as it adds an artificialness to an otherwise genuine image. Still an interesting photo though.

Good work with the processing.

Great composition, and excellent use of desaturation. :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great selective desaturation, one of the best I've seen here in a long time! Composition is pretty good, I would suggest that you didn't crop / frame out the bottom of his boot.

color processing takes away from the mood

The desat is well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i am assuming the color sub emphasis is in camera, I haven't gotten mine to look that clean.

I like the like the shot. it's a nice contrast.
