I love the shot... though interesting, I am wondering about the choice to go partial b/w. That long shadow and the colorful outfit is so good. The fact that, otherwise, life goes on as normal is great. Overall, an 8 from me.
Looks like they don't want to be bacon! People on this site normally dislike partial desaturated images but I think that it adds a lot to this image.
There is a great story or stories behind this photo and I love it for that!
i honestly don't get the selective desat, but I think it works in isolating the subject i scored this with a 9 because i like the expression and action in the photo
