On the fence with the selective desat. I almost would like to see
a) the full color version
b) a version where all the blossoms are in color

for comparison.

There are some areas (especially in the trees) that appear quite dark however I don't think we need to see the detail there since the focus is on the blossoms. I like the contrast you attained in the black and white conversion.

Title kinda bugs me but who am I to say. Its your image after all and you can name it whatever you want. :)

Fool's gold is the reference, yes? Very good work on the post processing and a wonderfully composed photograph. Given my personal bias, I would much prefer this in pure B&W but I appreciate what you've chosen to do as well.

Fantastic clarity! Great picture. I would like it even more without the gimmick. For me, it's an 8 with the yellow flower and a 9/10 without...

Much better (8) without the selective coloring.

Very very beautiful. The black and white is nice here, and the sky is amazing.

The grayscale image with colored elements is fast becoming a meme in these challenges and it doesn't always work. The repetition of this type of image is fast becoming passe'. Having said that, this is very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.

Not a huge fan of selective saturation. I think I'd like the entire image in BW. Beautiful wide angle focus.
