I desaturated it to give the feeling you get when a festival is over. Does it work?




Please critique, and enjoy. Oh, and for those of you who do not know, those are all firecracker wrappings...

Thanks,

    Love the red in image one - I think, however, that this might have been stronger had you shown more of the gray background at the top and shifted to the right a bit to get more of the green in.

    As to your second question - absolutely not. The desaturated image just looks like - trash.
