The selective color works very well here. Really highlights the paleness of the yellow.

Exquisite whiteness of the flower. The excellent background.

This is a perfection of beauty of a flower. The very light blue tinge on the petal is making it just way beyond beauty, actually.

this is an ideal image for selective desat ... really like the result. I like how the 3 pistils (hope I remember my high school plant terminology) are echoed by the veins in the petals plus in the lines outside in the black and white. Hope I explained that well enough. Well done is what I'm trying to say!

Beautiful macro, wonderful detail, the selective coloring really adds so much to this
As For Bahbahra and kenny, and what they were up to, they claim they were just trying to get up higher for a better view, not sure I believe them

Wonderfully selective colouring brings the flower to life against the mono background. This works so well, Steve. Great work
