Ya, it is better without the selective desat. It's wonderful - the aging Dustin Hoffman and the young Joanna Woodward, in another universe, a strange universe, a cold and unfriendly universe, with naked kitchens...
Fabulous -- a three in one -- the two people could be individual shots, and then the "still life" of the objects in the sink. I'm with LevT, ditch the selective desat.
Nice catch. Coffee guy stands out on his own. But then the bit of color of the lady draws the viewer to her also. The processing in a way "connects" the two separate people. Cool shot.
I could stare at this for a while. Coffee guy is awesome. I like the touch of color in the woman/soda -- interesting processing choice. Never would have thought of to even try that.
