I know this will be criticized because it is not being framed in by its natural surroundings. My apologies, but I thought the photograph fit the challange in an 'interpretive' way. Please don't shoot me!

I gave this a 7. Love the idea and composition. The selective desat works very well too. The image is a tad grainy and the uppermost left portion is a bit blown out. Otherwise, superb job. :-) I liked the creativity you showed in this entry.
excellent idea, kind of wasted on a non-interesting subject. (to me at least). This would have worked much better if you caught something more spectacular in a reflection. (6).
I usually like grain in images, but in the case of this one, I might have liked it better with less noise. The selective desat is a decent technique to have been applied. Yet I do think the reflection is a tad too dark, and the details aren't jumping out clearly enough.
