I like the selective desat. It gives the walkway a little dreamy quality.

I like the almost washed out effect in this pic. Looks like a place I know in my home town. I haven't been there for a few years might inspire me to take a drive. Last time I was there the person I was with was attacked by ducks! a very nice perspective too I always wonder how to frame a shot like this you've done well really draws the eye in. Would like to have seen it with less people in the shot maybe just one or two.

this photo reminds me of JawnyRico's "Entrance to Enchantment" that I have always loved.

good leading lines and looks like selective desaturation (I'm still new at this)

Ooh, can I go for a run here, please? I would have liked this better without pedestrians.

It's good, but I am not sure about the selective desat for this...
