haha good capture though it feels a little grainy for my liking it doesnt really add anything to the image.

The selective desat definitely helps emphasize the anachronism in this photo, but I wish there was more detail and clarity on the figures in the shot.

I will own to bias here, as I am no lover of partial desaturation. I find the choice of blue as the only colour to remain makes the photo look very cold. I would suspect that you are trying to draw attention to the contrast between the historic dress and the intrusion of 21st century paraphenalia, but I feel it would have been better left.

Comment by Cutter:
let your photograph do the talking. it doesn't need the the obvious "hey i desatted it because I need you to see my point". I don't dislike desat, just saying...

I really like the background colors on this one. I would work a little more on the leaves themselves to bring them out a bit more. You have a nice eye for composition.

I like the colors and composition. This would be a good one to play with and really see how to make the leave pop from the background a bit more. I find the one brighter spot to left of bottom center to be a little distracting.

fantastic comp. id suggest sharpening just the leaf though and maybe blurring the background a tad more.
