Damn, I truly thought this was best in show. You hit right on one of the reasons to use this technique. Kudos on an almost 6 scoring shot that deserved better!

I love how you tell a story with this. I also love how there are two stories going on here but you have isolated the one from the other. This is an excellent example of the technique! Kudos.

the desat is tinted blue and the skin tones of the child are too red. maybe just coloring the clown might have been a better idea..

This reminds me of a certain style/period but I can't figure out what! I like the interaction between mime and child.

I wish the other guys were not in the shot...but little to nothing you could do about that. You caught a great moment...very nice work. The little boy looks so happy.

I think this would have worked better if the boy was not colored and the b/w was just that black and white. IMO it would have made the scene POP

This is a really cool shot, I like the bluish tone to the background, I think it makes the saturated part in your shot POP. Nice work.

Nice idea, but the background is distracting to me.

Very nice catch! I'm a tad distracted by the duotone in lieu of b/w background.
