Really now. Aren't we just FOND of selective desat?;p
Personally, I like the full colour version better but yeah, the selective desat here DOES serve its purpose.
Good to see you trying out other photography styles.
Personally I like the shade of green you caught here and I think you have a really good shot. I would like to see a version with maybe a bit of color left in the sky.

I'll reiterate my comment about the green being too oversaturated. I am also not fond of that particular shade, just a little too kelly for my tastes. It's very artsy photo, which doesn't necessarily do as well around these parts, but it's good to see you branching out and trying something a little different.
Thanks Rebecca! Now why don't you like kelly green? :P

Motion captured well here. The desat reminds me of one of my shots for the Green Challenge. The sharpness of the tree serves itself as the main subject of this image. Nicely done desat. Great job :)
Strong composition, I kind like how the blur is limited to the foreground here. To desat the sky in this photo would never of occured to me, but I think it's what makes this photo unique, so good choice. Great photo!
10. easy. this is so captivating. best bit is the slightly mad sense of scale; the trees look like models! fits the challenge (the motion blur is there but in no way does it over power the shot), brilliantly taken, fantastically processed and presented.
