I'm not sure how you processed the wall this way, but its texture and desat look offers a great counterpoint to the warm and vibrant skin tone colors of the featured couple in love. Mr. Billy, sir, you have a winner on your hands today!

@Viewfinder: Hi-5 V.F...super comment my friend...well appreciated..
This process was quite an adventure,and took approx. 1 hr.to complete..firstly I drew around the couple with the magic wand tool...and then inverted the image to change the background to a pencil line drawing,and finished off by cleaning the edges with the clone tool and a small blur brush...
I'm glad you liked it,sir.
