I know, you think it's off topic, overexposed, and you hate selective desaturation. What can I say? I've had a few good scores in a row, and now I need a bottom scorer to remind me that my 6.0+ photos are just bits of luck. :)
I really like this photo with the selective desaturation. I'm not sure why, because I'm usually not a fan of the stuff - but I like it for this. I wanted to do something that didn't involve windows/doors/etc. of buildings and like structures, so I chose the beautiful calla lilies that are growing near the pond for my subjects. Title is due to the fact that the angle gives the flower a heart shape.
And I didn't crop it close - it's uncropped. This is how I wanted it framed.
