Greetings from the Critique Club:
Three 10s and a good number of 7+ scores, you hit a number of people's sweet spots with this shot. It's executed pretty well and your selective desaturation is done with great precision. Is it necessary though? The scene may have worked better if you had allowed the plant to merge with the board through shared coloration.
Your depth of field and associated precise focus is highly effective and isolates the plant well. Well enough not to need the desat for emphasis.
Overall, this is effective and well executed but the desat is a polariser.
