 This is Steven Holl's Chapel of St. Ignatius at Seattle University built in 1997.

The design of the chapel incorporates skylights and pigmentation, to create seven different qualities of light.

This is the first Steven Holl building I have ever seen. This is also my very first try at selective desat thanks to the wonderful images I've seen with other DCPers.

I'm not sure which version I like better but I'm leaning towards this one, don't know why. Maybe it's the way the color of the rock blends so well with the color of the reflection of the building. Cool looking place and nice capture. I'd like to see it at a slightly different angle eliminating the tree on the left.

Due to the comments I've received here, I've revised the image so that everything "on top" above the water is desaturated.

Is this better?

Really nice selective desat (although I think you should probably do the rock too). Great reflection shot - perfect horizon line too (as opposed to mine! LOL). You know, I think this would probably be a much less remarkable shot without the selective desat. Very nice choice and great shot!

What groggy said: you got to desat the exposed part of the rock as well. Then you're good to go.

It's a nice shot. Technically, I am having problems with the vertical shadow on the right wall falling onto the adjacent plane. It's impossible to tell where one wall ends and the other bgegins, so the juxtaposition of these two planes is fuzzily-expressed. Had the light been allowed to come around a hair more to your left, you could have it raking what's now the shadowed surcae, and this would be MUCH more expressive of the shapes & volumes here.

I like it but I think the rock should be desat. too. At the part above water. That way weverything above water would be desat.
Just my opinion. ~roni
