The Petting ZOO

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.
