"I wonder if he got as much negative unhelpful snarky comments as he gave me."
comment form one of my previous challenges..
gee Stu.. .okay it was negative but I couldnt explain it... you know what? I will mark the things I dont like in red and post it on other portal and send you link, maybe you will understand...
top lef spike ... you can clearly see there that wrong postprocessing there is green colour to be seen over it . I dont know how where you doing this selective colour but its wrong. and you can clearly see the boundaries of the green heart too.. its nice idea but not very well performed. there is another unidentified line on the left side and the bw conversion is flat. I didnt want to insult you or to be rude, Im just trying to explain you that the initial purpose wasnt achieved ...
have a great day ;)

| Okay, I grew up in a place where this was a noxious weed. It's a technically okay photo but I can't work up much enthusiasm for it. |

| What a great find. I think if you booster the colour a bit, this would really "pop". |

| Selective desat hasn't added much, composition seems wrong - sorry |

| Good job with the desaturation. |
|

| Not something I want to hold :-) I like the desat to focus on the heart shape, but I would have liked to have seen that piece a little more saturated. |

| The photo itself appears to be well taken and a nice close up of the ol' prickly pear, but I'm not a fan of selective desat on the best of days. I realize you did it to emphasize the heart shape, but it just doesn't do it for me. The selection is pretty sloppy as well. |
