I've come back to this picture three times and it still looks like a normal picture to me. It's a nice enough picture with great colors and a fine focus but there is absolutly nothing in the background or foreground - nothing is greyscaled. What were you thinking??
I suppose the pink was desaturated to the grayish white? That stray yellow dot at 1 o'clock adds a little chaos to the image, some may like it, some may not. Personally, I think it adds some interest to the picture. Other than that, the background may be dull, but it helps contrast the flower petals nicely.
Once again, I have to take your word that this is in fact a pink daisy. Really hard for me to clearly see that you`ve desaturated anything here, although I know that you did.
I see your point, but it does look like a WHITE flower..
So this could have been a pink desaturated flower, but it could also be a full color picture of a white flower.
So I think it's fun, but I also think that if you without the title nobody will know about what you tried to achieve...
The flower is awesome, but the background is so uniformly black that it could just as easily be selective lighting as selective desaturation. It appears that the leaves have retained their subtle color, rather than being desaturated. Good marks for the picture quality, but some deduction for the lack of any black and white subject matter.
