Nice capture - good composition and good use of the selective saturation. You could possibly have made better use of the lead-in or corner-to-corner connections, although this is certainly eyecatching.
My biggest complaint would be about the photo's title ... I have a pet hate of that one because it is used so so so often for photos of stairs! (Search it and you'll see what I mean.)

Great leading lines, Shelby. The desaturated BG made it even more evident. Nice sharpness as well. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Shelby - I agree with Rew about the overly-cliched title, but that shouldn't detract from the shot and pp work.

You've done well keeping the pots in isolation and i like the way the staircase and the palm tree combine to break up the image. I wonder if I may have cropped in a little from both the top and right, though - that may have made the pots more prominent as they are in a little danger of getting lost.

Interesting shot though, well done.

NIce Shot Shelby! Love the pots being in color! Yeah, the title is a bit cliche'd... you should ask your mama about it....... I would have named it Pot Roast myself!
B-)
Good shot, as always!

Hi Shelby,
Busy...but very attractive. Very good PP work. excellant tonal range in the B&W and leaving the pots colored adds a nice touch. Excellant compo and good title. Nice work Shelby TFS!

It seems like this heaven is for color blinds.... haha.

Nice presentation in color and monochrome composition. An exciting point of view and good luminar control. Well done Shelby.

Thanks for sharing this image.
