wierd choice for selective desat. sorry but i really don't like it. i would give you a 7 if it were all black and white. 5 as it is now.

Based on your title, I am assuming he is drained of color too lol. But I think it would have looked fine if the whole pic was in black and white.

Nice idea with the desat but Im not sure it worked. the red sign really draws my attention particually as it cuts the person behind it. Perhaps it would look better totaly BW. good luck

background's not colorful enough for this effect to work.

The desaturation makes for an interesting effect, but I think it would be better if it had definite blacks instead of just various shades of gray

too much processing...the black and white and red light makes for an odd photo, and clashes, and is not elegant or pleasing. If the message was to correlate a "red" sign its loaded meaning with his state I can see where that is going, but otherwise...5

Like this image a lot more on second viewing than I did on first. The B&W works well as the greyness really helps get across the feeling of exhaustion. Nice desat job too

Like the capture but I feel the selective desat does nothing for the image here - Red is where the eye will go and thats what happens here - It takes us away from the main subject.

Very nice pic, just don̢۪t see why you use selective desat, it doesn̢۪t add anything to the image, IMO. 6

I would like it better if it was all color, or all B&W

I would like to see a little more levels on the foreground person.
