I think the selective desat damages this photo. Good idea though.

This is nicely done. What's that white line next to the boy's head? A rare, effective use of selective desaturation.

Nice crisp clean shot with very good composition. Like the way you removed the color from everything but the wagon. Geesh I need better software! Gave you a very stingy 10..

This is about as good as it gets. A delightful, heartfelt photograph, and the selective desat only adds to the nostalgic feel.

A shot to be proud of for all time.

The selective coloring seems to help the photo. Everything seems very clean. Good job.

Comment by MadMax:
This nail is most likely not marked 1951 but number 51. These type of nails were often used to mark old wooden storm windows and screens to match up with the proper window. One would be nailed into the window frame and the duplicate number nailed into the storm window frame. The old wooden ones were taken down in the summer and put back up in the fall.
I still have a cardboard package that contains such matching number nails.
