very nice - this is one I would have liked to have seen in colour, because of the flowers, but it is lovely in black and white as well. You have an amazing eye.

@Scene by Sharon Photography: You don't do so bad yourself. Color version coming tomorrow; but, it might not be what you expect.

I like this shot, if you look carefully at it, it seems like the loin is gonna jump right out on you :) The lighting is perfect and desaturation has done its magic. :)

@Rahul: Thanks for your complement. I spent a lot of time converting this to b & w. In fact, I didn't use the desaturate command at all. Instead I used a channel mixer adjustment layer, a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and a gradient map adjustment layer. Then I polished it off with a little burning and dodging. Thanks for noticing Rahul! ;0)
