I like what you did to the original. I just wanted to comment and say that I never even noticed the cigarette in the corner till someone made a comment about it. Pretty cool! Keep on experimenting - you'll have more fun that way. :)

I much prefer this shot! I'm not usually a fan of selective desat : )
I like that this one is not cropped and shows more of the buildings, it adds some nice scale. There's a nice contrast between the two main subjects and that hand with the cigarette is killer!
or the other alternative would be to crop the hell out of it, say somewhere between the nose and lips of the dude on the left, and remove the top half! It changes the whole dynamic of the shot and puts a bit more emphasis on the bike and the hand with the cigarette... : )

WTF - I loved this. Go figure it would land in the 4's.

Anyway - do not be deterred. This is an awesome shot.

Great candid feel to this ... sort of a shot-from-the-hip feeling. B&W works well.

Love the angle and subject here. Not a fan of the desat.

I don't think you needed the selective desaturation here. My eyes keep going to his red phone. He's in focus enough and -more importantly- dynamic enough to draw attention without any trickery. Otherwise, this is a cool street scene. Good choice with the angle - makes it look like you snuck the shot with the camera at your hip (and maybe that's what you did).

Out of focus and lacks a focal point in image.
