I like the selective desat, the pale skin is very interesting with the shadows on it. Good job.

love this angle and the fact that you can only see one eye....very nice. you may be getting comments about dodging and burning and in this case burning around the eye and the iris will add depth and contrast to that area. overall I would have to say that I really like this....; )

The lighting across your face are a nice effect, and I think the selective desat makes this shot interesting. I might've boosted the contrast just a bit to get more detail in your hair, just a thought though.

Nice shot. I wish the lines of light weren't on your face because it's a bit distracting, but overall this is a great picture! Good luck!

light streaks on the face are a little harsh but the eyes are fantastic, love the way the green goes with the background.

I don't think selectively saturating the red was the best idea. It detracts away from the main subject. I keep looking into the left, bottom corner.

Comment by spencerwood:
Quite a strange depth of field effect you have going on but the face is in focus which is the important thing here so thats good. Not sure the red colouring works, normally you would have single coloured objects in a mostly mono image to draw attention, but here, the red elements are not in focus and the main points of interest given you title and the brief should be the boy and the book which are left mono. So your intention by doing this colouring seems a little confused. Mono tones could have been pushed harder as they are a little washed out

this is really close to being great - excellent composition, but just not contrasty / sharp enough for me. Give those eyes some serious dodge n burn and USM and you'd have a different story

nice shot and great colors, but i would preffer more of a portrait than a closeup, just my opinion
