Looks a little scary actually. Actually, I see a lot of color here.

Great image, BUT I think you missed the point of challenge. Would have given you a 7 IF you would have made the mother B/W.

You don;t seem to have desturated anything. There seems to be colour everywhere with the baby's eyes enhanced. Beautiful pose though.

This is a wonderful shot of mom and baby, the expressions are priceless and the post processing is wonderful, but I don't really feel a lot of desaturation in this shot, some muting of colors but no real removing. If you hjust left the baby's eyes and desaturated the rest of the shot, with good contrasting black and white points this could have been a top 10 easily. A 7

Something doesn't fit with me.... she has sunglasses on, the baby's eyes have quite a bit of glare in them, yet they and the room look "shadowy" - Also, I think for this challenge, there was suppose to be less color in the "desaturated" areas.

It's desaturated to a degree I think, but as you can see, the meaning of this challenge is to turn your picture into black/white with just 1 or 2 things in color..

Like the blue in the baby's eyes btw.

A little too much light bouncing off the eyes. Otherwise a good shot.

Intersting but it doesn;t look like you've converted the background to greyscale.

Also, are you allowed circular borders?? Not seen one before, I won't mark you down for it though.

Do you understand what desaturation is?
