2.23 - "Needs Work" 

This portrait was taken with my Canon R6.
Camera settings:
ISO 800
F 2.8
Shutter speed 1/800 sec

In postproduction I decided to desaturate all the colors except the eyes, in order to emphasise them.

I added the mirror to isolate the subject in a creative way.

Did you desaturate the color channels individually? A lot of blue remains in the photo. I would be interested to see what this image looks like without the desaturation (or maybe black and white). I like the use of the mirror, but honestly find the scattered blue hues distracting. I really like where you are going with this though!
