First impression: eerie then cheery. The grainy B&W portion of the image is almost sinister then there is this bright, industrious lady sweeping away. Had it not been for the selective saturation, this would have probably been a ho-hum image; the artistic editing makes it a compelling one. Effective composition. A most interesting submission.
Against my stereotypical esthetic (please pardon the pretentiousness), I like this partial desaturation very much. Lot of emotion in that figure. The sumptuous foreground foliage charges the atmosphere.
I'm not a fan of selective desat, but I do like the concept of this image. There's so many things I want to know about the story here, and that makes it interesting to me.
I'm not a huge fan of selective desaturation, but it kinda works in a way here. I'd like to see this in full color to see how much the story changes when presented that way.
