** Greetings from the Critique Club **
What a wonderful image to get to critique!
Technicals first:
Lighting and exposure seem well thought out and executed.
The composition is really good as you made sure you were not centered in the alley, giving this a nice perspective.
Focus seems just a bit soft. I would have liked to see sharper details in the buildings that you left in color. The bricks should have some nice shadows, cracks, and crevices. Using the burn tool can bring out the shadows, but you would need a bit of USM to bring out the textures.
The selective desat is well executed in my mind. You chose the perfect point to begin the desat. On the desaturated areas, you might consider boosting the contrast as the building do seem to lack seperation from the sky.
Overall, I really like the image and the post-processing you aplied here. Good luck in future challenges. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

| I see the past but I don't see the future. You should chosen a much more futuristic building. |

| tis is one of the rare occasions where selective desaturation works well - however the image on the whole looks a bit dull |

| Great selective desat here. As an improvment, I would probably concentrate on the contrast and highlights in the BW portion of the photo ;) Right now, the sky and the building are almost the same color renditions ;) (6) |

| Good idea to use selective desaturation. It's a bit harsh and abrupt, though. Perhaps it would have been less so if you had left just a hint of color, 10% or so? |

| Nice idea, perhaps the back and the foreground of the black and white is to detailed, losing the depth; but I like the composition otherwise. good luck. |
