Nice candid but you seemed to use color to isolate your subject instead of minimal DOF. Really like the pic otherwise

I like the way you have done this to this B/W image, and colored the person that is standing out in your eyes.....

Now THAT is singled out. Great idea to make this challenge work! Very sharp. Very interesting. I love it! Good luck!!!

The girl is not really singled-out by minimal dpeth of field, hurting this as far as meeting the challenge. The selective desaturation is very distracting. (3)

The de-sat is an interesting way of singling out your subject and directing the viewer in the way you see fit. I think another good choice for this treatment would have been the standing woman in the back, even though she is slightly out of focus. There is something, to me, anyway, about the woman that is highlighted that just isn't that interesting. Lots of potential in the shot.

One of the more adeptly pulled-off treatments of this sort.

For some reason, my focus goes straight to the set of ears on the guy to the right! :-) Nice shot though!! 8

There is virtually no DOF isolation (a requirement) in this shot. THe isolation is done by use of colour vs monochrome. Composition-wise, I don't think that this shot is interesting: it's a bit messy and the main subjects are dead in the middle of the frame.

YOu've used color to set off the subject, not shallow depth of field.

With your careful use of DOF you managed to keep the crowd in focus. It appears that you were also able to make your subject stand out using selective desaturation. Too bad that wasn't in the challenge details.

i don't like the use of selective desaturation here.

The challenge asked for a person to be singled out in a crowd using shallow depth of field. There's not a whole lot of shallowness here

Changing the colour of a person does single them out.
