Good idea and a nice job of meeting the challenge, but I don't think the selective desat works here, at least in the manner in which you've applied it. 6
I'm sure this was very interesting, seeing the whole flight simulator thing. The image as a contest entry, however, is not up to par. It gives off more of a snapshot feel, than a contest entry.
Selective desaturation in this photograph is mostly random and pointless. Many of the parts remaining in color are oversaturated and very distracting. If this image were completely in color, I'd give it a seven. If it were completely in black and white, I'd give it a six. I'm going to have to give it a four because it's just very messy.
not digging the selective desat. Great photo of a simulator, but the coloring kills it for me. I would have given it a 7, but the colors bring be down to a 5.
