Candid from the state fair of virginia. She really fascinated me. However, the banana really doesn't work in black and white:



And color really didn't work.

Another option:

Thanks for the comments!

(btw, if you read the tag, the banana is a "Fruit Ninja" :)

Looks like a fruit ninja to me (I would also try with uniform desat)

I get the impression someone is trying to take her banana away and she's using the puppy dog eyes to convince him otherwise.

This would be (in my opinion!) much better as either full color or full monochrome. She's such a beautiful young lady and has such a pensive, wistful, almost sad look - then there's that banana standing out like a sore thumb tryng to draw attention away from her. Does that make sense? Really a great catch - I like the dreamy look, too. Just not a fan of the selective desat.
