Setup:
A stem of Mock Orange flowers in a vase, underneath a cherry tree in our yard to get some shadows on the flowers.
Post Processing:
BW Conversion (entire image, no layer mask)
Levels (RGB, not individual colors)
Temperature, Tint (again, entire image)
Dodge/Burn for Highlights and Shadows (only on the flowers)
Color Balance Layer (no mask, entire image)
Invert Layer (no mask, entire image)
Clone tool to clean up the image (some spot editing in the lower left corner and upper left)
USM
Resize
Save for Web
I followed the row over the challenge rules (forums), and I'm going to say that this meets the rules. I didn't 'selectivly desaturate' with any masks, clone tools, brushes, dodge/burn or the like. The entire image was effected by the color balance layer. In fact, I wanted to enter this in it's BW form, but I'm certain that would get a fair number of DNMC votes. White and black are colors!!!!
I like the end result, and I'll be happy with something above a 6. Sorry for the cliche title
-------
I'm guessing that the low score is because people thought that this was a DNMC image. Well...
Here's what I wanted to submit:
And thanks for the great comments! |

| A bit too high key for my preference, but I think that was the look you were going for. |
