THis is very very well thought out, composed adn finished. I like the contrast of the whites in the desat and the black and white. The only distraction is that the subject is a bit busy and mundane, my eyes are drawn to 3 places- the two garbage cans and the umbrella that is black and white.
Excellent Entry! This is fun for the eye to browse around all the action. Clean, clear detail and the umbrellas bring flavor to the scene. My only thought on how I might improve on this would be to take a look at how bright the shirt is on the guy at the bottom right. I might try to tone his shirt down to blend with the rest of the people. I like this. 9
great perspective and choice of what to desat...This picture tells a story, which in my opinion is a goal of photography. I love the "busy-ness" of the shot, the candidness (are any of those real words?), and the overall feel. I'm stopping short of giving you a 10 because I think it could have been a bit lighter. I'm sure the desaturation/grayscale conversion caused this, but there are several tricks to lightening without breaking DPC rules. Here's your 9 (wish I could give a 9.5) :)
