Great technique with the grainy black and white. Maybe there could be a better composition somewhere in there with just one of the green boxes- but genereally this is well done and interesting

This photo is a little grainy and there doesn't seem to be any purpose to the desaturation. In other words, the wall could very well be shades of gray, so the colored portion don't really stand out.

Hmm..first think i noticed was the noise although it is only apparent on the black and white portion of the photo.

Nothing for the viewer to identify with and realize what colors are missing. In this pic - I can't tell what you desaturated.

It looks like you managed the technique pretty well. Although I appreciate the pattern the boxes make, somewhat, I don't find this angled view that appealing. A straight-on composition would have flattened the shapes into a more abstract composition of squares and llines and added interest to what is essentially a very mundane subject.

Not sure if this is good subject for this challenge.

Good job. A little too grainy maybe.

I like the shot, but I'm a bit distracted by the noise.

i think it would have been stronger if you just highligthed the dial.
