I like this shot, but something is not quite right with the backround (hill/rock/trees) but I am not sure what it is...too light maybe or fuzzy looking...

Nice shot, but I'm not crazy about the selective desaturation in this particular photo.

I like the color, if this is a selective desaturation, it's a good use of it

I don't think the selective desat works here. The green feels disjaunted, and there's a strange feel to the image overall. I do like the compositional choice, though.
