Selective Desaturation
I've been studying Peeling the Layers of an Onion - a Layer a Day in photos and writing on my Photography and Transformation Blog.
In some of the sessions I've placed the onion on a black cloth. I was not at all happy with the result of the black cloth in the night light and it was too late to do anything about it.
I, thus, thought I'd use one of the onions on the cloth for the selective desaturation exercise. I found the result most Interesting!
