Would this have been improved if at least one of their faces was visible so that the viewer could see their expression?

Selective desat wants to make the animal the subject, but its facing the wrong way. Girls is fighting to be the main subject, but is B&W. I'd prefer the crop to the girl's elbow, would help the composition a bit, I think. Focus is very crisp, even far into the background from what I can tell, pulls a bit of attention away from the foreground. Mostly, I suggest you use the full 640 pixel width allowed, it makes a world of difference to the viewer. I like how the beast (donkey?) is coming into the photo, good eye on that. I think there's a lot of potential here if there were no desat, or totally B&W & the girls were moved to get a better view of the donkey nose & the girls arm & hand feeding it. Just so you know I'm not hammering your photo, it is nice, I'm giving it a 6.

Nice photo. Great angle. I will look for this later. The water is moving fast so it will not stop action. DOF is a little small to get the tip of the craft clear.

Too bad the light wasn't a bit more cooperative looks like it was pretty harsh.

the b&w girl and background doesn't appeal to me in this image. she's key as well and gets kind of left out.
