I like this, agree with sharpness comment, perhaps DOF at f/2.8? Not sure. I'm not sure what people have against partial desaturation I think it draws attention in a photograph...ok ideally it wouldn't need it, but if the photo fits and its all you've got and desaturation helps then why not. In colour I think this would look like a snapshot. It would be interesting to see the colour, then I think you'd throw it for this one.

what a way to start the challenge! cool.
subject perfect. composition awesome. partial saturation-not sure. will also like to see a little more sharpness.

What did this shot look like in colour Adam? I don't like the partial desaturation in shots & think I would prefer it in colour or completely in B&W. A very good shot though well done.
