Very interesting use of selective desat. I'm not sure I would've taken that route. Hard to tell without seeing it in all color. I wish I could say what it is, but something feels off balance with this image. Maybe if the background was dark grey or solid white? Cool shot nonetheless.
Interesting idea - I actually like the selective desaturation in this case. Clarity is good, if slightly oversharpened; the only gripe I really have is the shadow on the right side of the image, which could be taken care of with a bit of dodging. Nice shot!
I really like your selected the saturation on this. The composition is excellent. It doesn't detract from the picture, but I wish you had left their scan in color.
Nice selective desat. Thought they look more like they are supressing a giggle than meditating. With a more serene expression this would have been really great.
Not often I like a selective desat very much, but this one works for me. It's a wonderful image, you can both see the physical kinship and feel the emotional kinship.
