I like the use of selective desaturation here. The fact that the colours left behind are not too 'in your face' is welcome. I also like the soft-focus effect, although I feel that the sleeves of the jacket could perhaps do with being somewhat sharper.
You have strange dreams for sure - lucky you managed to find an old army camp complete with drummer lying around ; )
The selective focus and selective desaturation both work really well on this shot to create a nice muted effect. Not a photo that leaps out and grabs me, but well shot and presented anyway.
I love this!! nice selective desaturization, composition, subject...it's all perfecto in my little book 10 (and hip hip hurray for soft focus!!! it does work in the dream theme!)
