 i had hoped to desaturate everything but the tongue, lips and gumball. but, being new to PS, I wasn't able to do so without losing the red colour everywhere. the skin tones were the problem.
originally I had wanted a cherry with a tied stem leaving her mouth. unfortunately cherry season is long gone here.
there were also a few issues with light that i was unable to correct such as the reflection of the window in the gumball. more work with PS i guess.

After submitting, I found several articles on how to use soft focus. Unfortunately too late for me.

My only complaint here is that you could use a little more softening technique, other then that great photo.

Good concept and composition, but the image seems grainy and, to my eye, the soft focus detracts from the image rather than adding to it.

This feels more out of focus than soft focused. I like the theme and composition tho.

LOL This has a nice soft focus. Something about her tongue that is kinda, well, unappealling. Maybe its the ranch dressing or whatever the white is thats on her tongue. Great composition!

A brilliant idea for a photo, but I think the wet gloss would work much better if it were tack-sharp, rather than in soft focus. Great potential, but wrong challenge! 5
