I didnt get to comment on any shots in this challenge yet and I didnt get to vote on your shot. Now I am sorry because I would have had up with my top ten. The thumbnail doesnt do this shot justice. It really is a great shot. How many photoshop redos before you decided on the legs,beak,eye and faucet as the colored elements? Great work.

Great shot.

I would have preferred it if you'd also desaturated the bird's feet and the other two taps.

Beautiful shot. I somehow think that it would have worked better without the bird. I think the blue taps are interesting enough.

This is a funny shot! The first thing that came to mind was "Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine?" a la Finding Nemo. Great work on capturing the pose.

Excellent! What a great shot! And well done on the color. Probably should have cropped out the flowers on the top. Not sure. Good job.

Wonderful subtle tones kept. One of my favorites!! I don't think I would have ever seen the opportunity and executed it so well!! This is de-sat used as it should be and really shines.

cool

Why did you leave the feet colored? If you had desaturated the beak and feet it would have been great. Nice try.

Neat capture. Maybe trim the top to remove the partial plants.

I believe this is a winner! Perfect capture - you get a 10 from me :)

Interesting choice - I wonder how it would have looked with only one tap in colour?
