 My & my boy, T-Tabernacle @ his pad.
So now to the post processing. Well, first I set the date & time on my cam, just in case I get lucky!
Discarded the colour to go grayscale. Added a bit of diffuse glow to soften it up a bit. With the help of Kirbic's advice, I was able to turn it back into a colour shot, cropped it, and then played with the channel mixer to add the red on the nose ring with the eclipse selector. Added a border (kinda boring) and thus the end product.

Just say no to spot color.

This is a nice shot! Too bad the border is so distracting. Yoru composition is great. 8 from me.

Awesome picture ... however, IMO I would get rid of the red nose thingy.

it's a bit small and the border is too big, IMO for this particular sized photo. Also, the red line in the border is not even al the way around.

I'm sorry, call me old school, but I don't care for nose rings... Not a bad shot overall, but don't care for the selective desaturation. I don't think that it has a real effect here. Also your border is not even all around.

The color is a nice touch, nicely done! (Line on (left) cheek?)

I'm really not a fan of the selective colorization here at all. The shot itself is interesting but of course the colored portion changes it dramatically and attracts all the attention. I can't say that this is a bad shot, it seems well done, it just doesn't work for me.
