Good use of selective desaturation.

The desat only pulls the eyes away from her beautiful face. All black and white would have been just as effective. Nice job otherwise...

I like the capture, but the selective desaturation detracts from the image, in my opinion. My eye is immediately drawn there instead of to the beauty of the little girl. The lighting is already a bit harsh on the top of her head, and adding the only color there serves to pull my eye there even more. I would have also pushed her toward the back of the frame a bit more with my cropping. There are a lot of interesting elements inside the frame, but the color and centered composition really don't pull my eye through them.

Beautiful indeed!! I really like this. She seems a little sad with her eyes down like that though. It does provide interest in the photo, but I bet she also has a beautiful smile!
