big shower c&c please

hi all

possibly hard to give too much feedback without seeing the original, but basically i desaturated green, aqua, yellow, and red, possibly blue as well (can't remember off the top of my head), there's a bit of cropping at the top left to remove white sky



any feedback is greatly appreciated

thanks

I've been looking at this for 5 minutes wondering why I like it and why I don't, it's a great shot in many respects. Can't do anything about it now but I would have prefered one person in the shot instead of 3. The 2 people together confuse things a bit. The other thing is the 2 red spots need to be removed if possible. The desaturated look is great but those red spots really distract.

thanks for your reply
do you mean the guy's hand above his head? and the flower behind the third guy (as the red spots)?
i had some trouble getting rid of those using lightroom because that was under the orange slider which removed a lot of the colour i wanted to keep
i tend not to want to process outside of the raw processor unless i absolutely have to

Yes It's hard for me to tell what those were but maybe a little cloning and you could remove them without changing the rest of the picture.
