An alley in Visby, Sweden, known for the many roses growing there. Unfortunately this was rather late in the season, and the roses could be fresher :-)
g'day markus - i really enjoy the mood you have created with the desaturation here - has a very painterly feel, well balanced, with the subject(s) perfectly framed.. I really enjoy your attention to detail, including the rose bottom rh corner - every element in the pic leads you to the woman. beautifully done. thanks. adrian
Luckily for you Niamh there is a full colour version in the originals gallery! ;-) Thank you both for your comments!

part of me yearns to see a full colour version of this shot and is busy imagining all sorts of vibrant reds and greens. however the post processing undoubtedly complements the subject and draws attention to her.

I love this one Markus. In fact, it makes me want to play around with reducing saturation in two channels with some of my pictures to see how they turn out. I love the composition and subtlety of this one. Plenty to see and hold the interest. Cheers, John
