I'm not a fan of selective desat, but putting that aside while grading today. Instead, I'm grading overall composition and whether i feel like the item that is colored draws my interest or if i feel like it pulls my interest away from something else that i find more personally meaningful in the picture

I checked on four different screens (2 monitors and 2 iPhones) and cannot tell what in this picture is in color. Further, I have no idea what I'm looking at. If I were to guess I'd say a paper doily held behind a gas lantern.

Am I close?

His is a bit too abstract for my taste.
