Considering how bad selective desats do on this site, this was really done well and worthy of top 5.
Congrats on the  Place Honorable Mention!

| Congrats on a top 5 finish. This shot, as well as all your other shots, have such a quality look to them. Not sure if its the detail, or the lighting or the composition, or all of the above. Whatever it is, you have it mastered. Do you offer lessons ;-)? |

Oh Lesley, this is awesome! The title fits so perfectly, and it has your wonderful signature style. I agree, should have ribboned, but 5th place sure isn't bad either, and neither is a 6.768 score :)
Congratulations!

| You wuz robbed! 5th place is still pretty sweet (and nothing against the ribbon winners) but this should have a pretty little ribbon by it for sure. Great work (as always). Not sure what world the 1s, 2s and 3s are living in. |

| Great use of selective desat. Wonderful clarity and sharpness. Great face. I would expect this to be Goodman as it is Goodman quality. Excellent work. Bumping up 2 and is my top pick for the challenge. Back one last time. I think I have been stingy with my tens lately so here is to breaking that habit. Bumping up til I can bump up no further and adding to my favs. If this doesnt take first place then I will be stymied. |

| The interpretation is known by the artist, but not clear to the observer. My wife gave this a 10. My interpratation is a slam against the man. A day below ground is a good day for a pea which is a seed. |

| I personally like selective desat and I think it works well here. You did a nice job in getting contast in the black and white parts. Nice take on the challenge. My only concern is that while a nice photo the peas are not the subject and would be lost without the selective desat. |

| Selective desaturation is a technique that I think is hugely overused so it's refreshing to see an example where it's used not for the sake of it but because it truly adds something to the image. I love the black and white for the man himself - it really brings out the wonderful texture of his skin and the expression on his face. The bright green for the pea pod helps it to stand out against his skin and ensures we can really see what it is. Even though it's the only thing in colour the focal point is still on the model's eyes which I think is testament to how strong the portrait of him is. |

| cool portrait, Goodman perhaps? Th epea angle is pretty subtle, not sure if the selective desat makes it better. I like the shot though |

| its a fantastic portrait, but the pea pod looks like it was added in later in photoshop, I'm not saying it actually was, just that it looks artificial in the shot, probably due to leaving the pod in colour after, converting the guy to mono. In terms of this challenge I'm not sure, but as I said firstly, as a portrait this is outstanding |
