The desaturation of the colors except the fire makes your eyes focus on the fire. The normally red or yellow color of the truck is white, which is interesting. It actually brings your eyes toward the side of the truck and follows the water toward the fire. This gives you eyes some great focus points. From "9" to a "10"
Great image I hope you didnt start the fire for the Challenge, Ha ha
love the B/W and colour I still havent figured out how to do that
Nice detail and focus 8
Great shot. Hope this was a training run... Not sure I like the selective desaturation in this instance, but it is effective. I will have to look at this one again and maybe adjust your score!

Personally, I like the partial desaturation in this image, I think that it adds impact.
The tree in the foreground is a bit distracting but overall, one of the best images in the challenge
I don't usually like selective desaturation but this one is very cleverly done indeed and the detail is wonderful. There's so much to study here and yet the overall composition is strong too, with the tree, the arc of water and the repetition of the four or five men on the ground.
