| Very underrated - I don't know why it got hit in the votes unless they were after some science rather than an interpretation. Very well worked out and shot. |

Well a big hello from the Critique Club!
Hi Parrothead.
Firstly let em say i hate selective desaturation ;D - but in this scene it is attractive to me for why i do not know.
I think your choice of angle is interesting and enhancing whilst also being creative. Many people would choose to shoot this portrait a turn to the right, but you have opted for a more lying down position which i think really adds interest to the shot.
The reds in my opinion are a little too dark and saturated - but that is down to personal taste.
Focus and grain is good, but i would like to have seen little more detail in the body area.
Overall i feel your final score of 5.56 is about right, if not a little lower than it should be.

| no offense but the grain and small hairs on the chin and upper lip start to make the face a bit manly. otherwise a really beautiful emotive photo. 8 |

| One of my top two picks. Although it is stretched a little for the Botany challenge (sex sells I guess) I still give it a 10 for the composition, color and clarity. This shot would make an excellent ad for the rose industry at Valentines Day. Great shot overall! |

| A magnificent composition. The selective desaturation is brilliant and along with the soft focus and contrasty lighting makes this a period piece (30's, 40's, 50's). Only problem is that I do not see this as meeting the challenge theme. This is artistic as opposed to scientific representation, whiich I believe the challenge is about. Would be a 10 otherwise. |

| Not at all a bad attempt at a very design-lead stylish image. I think, however, that such very stylised photography requires a bit more PS work to really give it some pop - or a bitt more set-up care. Problems for me are an overall graininess of feel, a sense of wrong colouration on the chin (from those small hairs, and easily fixable I'd have thought), the white marks on the rose, and a feeling of congestion within the image which comes from cropping so very close to the subjects - the rose and the lips. It feels a little lke standing too close to a wall - there is no spcae for the eye to circulate around the image. It has the beginnings of an intersting idea however, certainly - just perhaps needs a bit more definition in terms of light and shape. 6 |

| I am in awe... this is simply stunning. What a beautifully composed, well-lit, and technically well-executed image! The red is amazing. The skin, even with the desaturization, glistens and has wonderful texture. My favorite of the challenge. :o) |
