I caught this image of a father and son leaving a baseball game after one half inning. The Astros gave up 11 runs in the top of the first. You gotta know when to fold it in.

Selective desaturation has its place but I am not usually a big fan. In this case I don't feel it adds anything to the image. Would of liked this one better in just B&W. The focus is spot on, very crisp. The car in the background is a bit distracting, especially the front windowshield. Overall a good capture.

Wanted to add the B&W conversion is very good, great tones

Nice capture, although the selective desaturation is a bit distracting and doesn't seem to add to the image. Good exposure.

Nice capture - Could do with a tad more contrast - The car is a little distracting.
