Nice idea, but I am not sure selective desat is part of the rules for open challenges. i will give it a 7 but SC might DQ it.

A little too dark IMO. Seems to be at an awkward perspective - makes it a little hard to look at. Title is way too long.

DOF and shutter speed are great. I like the slight blur in the hand and ball. You could have improved this by leveling your horizon.

Love the eye catching color of this one! The use of desaturation to remove any distractions from the backgroud works great as well. You'll have to teach me how to do that! Great detail. Good job.

There are a couple of things going on in this image that are a problem. First and formost, is the shooters face being blocked. Second is cutting the shooter off at the waist. A very good photography teacher once said to me, Never-ever cut anyone off at a joint. Any joint. And I guess the last thing, is the tree in the back-ground. It is colored, while everything else is B&W, and it definately draws, my eye away from the main topics of the picture. I would have like to have seen the rim, the ball and the shorts, selectively colored, but not the tree.
There are some nice attributes to this image, but these problem areas seem to be weighing heavily in my scoring. <5>

I like how you left the color on her and the ball and nothing else.

imo i would have liked to see the whole of the person and less of the left of the image.
