I like this a lot. IMO, the greys are balanced well with the red - and the pattern of the flower vs the leaves really works well for me too. Penny Street

Thanks all for commenting. It is a LR preset, and I would imagine it is a desat of sorts but keeps the red in the image. I liked this photo as it felt I needed to go to the lush red place and push everything else away. jano

Visually effective even if a partial desat (is it?). Something about this works well.. I think it is how we can feel down within the plants and discovering the blossom ahead. -tv

A partial desaturation? I'm surprised Rod hasn't jumped in and scolded you already. It definitely has an interesting look. -Doug

Is this a partial desat? Or the light was such that the leaves look black? Like the zigzag of the leaves but something the flower - Debi
