I like the two other kids, clouds, sense of height, the kid's pose who has "lost it", but the garish tone of the partial desat dosn't work for me. Not hurting your score from me though.
This is a great shot. I love the selective desaturation. The clarity looks pretty good, and I think you managed to get him at just the ride stage in his kickflip for a great action shot.
The photo has a kind of fun and vintage/retro-like feel in straight b&w...the selective desaturation, especially with that harsh red, really takes away from those "simpler days" qualities.
This is a very interesting shot. My first impression was not great, but it's growing on me; the kids in the BG are great; a really good sense of setting with a clean background. I'm mixed on the selective desat - part of me loves it.
