Hi David,
Greetings from the Critique Club...
I'm not sure I can add to what's already been said but I'll offer my support for some of the comments you've already received.
Your use of color and the "through binoculars" style make this an interesting shot. Your getting the subject in crisper focus than any of the folks around her and the dead center of the subject adds to the composition. Her headband is the only standout color which makes me study the shot all the more. I agree with the "falamingo" effect as a detractor. Losing her head and foot to the black framing gives a candid/voyeristic (?spelling) quality and makes me want to know more of the story. Wjy is she dressed differently from most of the others? Where is she heading?
You've included just the right amount of other elements in this shot. The extra folks simply exist to contrast to the main subject. You've got a good eye for b&w (looking over the other shots you've entered) and I look forward to more of your entries.
Thanks for sharing your work
If you have any questions on my comments, please pm me.
Regards,
Theresa

| Love it! Great subject, good composition and I like the vignetting although it seems just a tad bit heavy handed, just my opinion though. It kind of gives you the idea that she's being looked at through binoculars or something. :-) Overall this a nice use of selective desat and works well with this challenge. |

| Great idea - but the twist in her stance makes her look like a leg is missing. Not sure if I like the vignetting - would probably look fine when matted and framed. |

| Wonderful. Maybe just a little dark but that could be my monitor. A pleasure to view. |

| Don't like the extremely dark border. It basically cuts off the top of the people. Otherwise it's good. |
