I think you should have made the man in beige B&W as well... 7

I like the motion of the random passer-bys, but not sure the selective desaturation was best for this.
I think had this been done in all black & white, it would have had more impact.

i can go with the blue and yellow dudes, but leaving the pony-tail guy saturated doesn't do anything for the photo. that really kills an otherwise fine photo.

What about making only the two 'chilling out' guys in colour and converting the fella with the long hair to b&w? I enjoy the way everyone else seems to be rushing around!

would be better if everyone was blurred except the guy in yellow

i like it, i just would have liked it better if the guy on the far right wasn't in color because he just doesn't seem to part of the conversation the other two are in.

Great work! Excellent composition, use of selective desat, and sense of motion! 10!

I like the moment in time aspect of this. Not as sure about the desat, but I understand why you did it and you did it very well. Interesting characters!

I like these type of shots with the still person subject. The added desaturation effect is a nice added touch as well.

I love these kinds of shots, good decision on keeping the color on the guy on the R, but I'm sure you thought that thru carefully. Really engaging shot,

A very well constructed image and processing. It's a shame that your subject did not come across nice and sharp as that would have appealed to me more. Nonetheless, a fairly decent job. Good Luck.

Nice slice of life shot. The movement of the people really gives it a sense of "rushing." Not sure I really like the selective desaturation, though it does seem to help set up more contrast between "moving" and "still."

Great sense of movement. I like the desaturation of the crowd as well. Good urban shot. I wish the man in yellower were a bit more focused.

I love the motion blur and the selective desat
