Love the picture, I bet you are hearing where is the desat? I am sure the building is not white and the shutters are not black, but they could be.
I hope you are doing well in the challenge.

I really like this but feel it would be better with the whole window in the shot.

Great use of desat. The background with it's symmetry and shapes compliments the lovely colourful flowers in the centre.
