I like the way you've used the desat to give the photo that 'warming' appearance. Nice work.

I really like how you feathered the desat. I am not sure the general DPC public will agree with me ... but I love it. There really is a sense of peace that I feel when looking at this shot.

A very touching (excuse the pun) shot. Given the title, I can see why you have extended the colour to the adult's hands but for me it takes some of the impact out of it, sorry. Nice focus and lighting, you should do well with it.

Usually I say, your edges are sloppy, but this is actaully an artistic way to use that effect. Creative and uses selective desat with purpose. Well done

A very sweet and touching photo. Wonderful use of the desat, and one of the few where a partial desat of the skin does NOT look like death! 9.

Wow, really effective, though with a twist of perception it could be scary -- like the older hands are sucking the energy out of the younger... but I digress :-)

I really do like the glow that seems to be coming off of his hands to the childs. Nice idea, setup and editing.
