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.
The chair is placed nicely in frame and draws the eye. I like the continuation of the color on the bricks as it helps draw the eye to the chair and helps to balance out the strong red of the chair. I don't much like the color on the back wall behind the tree as it draws away from the chair as a subject. |
