Great expression and movement captured. The focus is a little soft. The de-sat is seemless, but I don't think this one, for me, is one I would have preferred that de-sat be used on, or maybe less of the total shot possibly.
This was a terrible picture to use for this challenge. Even in color it's not great. The missing fence and street are almost totally unnoticed. Too many colors in the clothes and body for a desat challenge. What colors there are do not make the subject stand out from the background because the crop is waaaaaaay to tight.
