This is my entry for battle of the sexes, I am surprised it took me almost a year to come in and put some details but oh well....at least it happened. Now looking back I don't really like what I did with the selective desat but I am so happy with this image. It took 3 separate photoshoots to get the right location and pose but it was worth it.

just happened upon this again and it's so funny the difference a monitor makes (im not at home). The selective saturation is blatantly obvious on this one! lol. so I bet my old comment was a little odd to you but on my home monitor it was barely noticeable. this one is a way worse monitor too... might be time for some calibration.
with that said, still love the shot. don't like the selective saturation.
I don't love the way you desaturated the photo. I realize why you did it and it makes sense to me, but more subtle would have been better. Anyhow, great job I really like it.
One of the better entries I think. Original. I don't know who looks worse, the girl stealing the wallet or the guy grabbing a big handful! LOL.
Only problem I have is something seems a bit weird with the saturation... like the front hands are more saturated than the rest of their skin. I guess this is meant to draw attention? But to me it just looks odd.
The inconsistent desat. keeps making me tilt my head and look again. I wonder if you could have achieved your goal (drawing the eyes) in a different way...
Now this is funny! It looks like the two hands have more color than the rest of the photo...It really brings your eyes into the hands. Nice, original idea.
