nice use of selective desat. I wish there was more light on the flag so that the whites didn't look so yellow

The selective desat works well however I don't think this qualifies for a high key image. There is still too much gray in the the image. High key is mostly black and white without any loss of detail. Great job on getting the flagpole straight and not "leaning". I wish there was more room on the right hand side so that the dome is not abruptly cut off the frame.

I like the crop right to the left of the flag. I guess sunlight is making it have a yellow cast. I might do a single color desat to whiten it up, or maybe that was your intent. I like it against the roundness of the pointed dome! The perpendicular line of it against the up and down of the windows is a nice variation for the eye. Good job with the desat on the architecture. It shows off its detail well.

I like it quite a bit, although it doesn't strike me as high key. There seems to be a bit of pink reflected in the white stripes of the flag. I wonder if you can reduce that with selective colour?

I really like the selective desaturation and composition, but I'm not sure I like your attempt at a "high-key" photo. To me, it just looks like a regular photo with a washed out sky. Don't get me wrong, I love the photo, I just think you could do a bit better with the high-key.

Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like the photo, but I'm not sure it looks very high-key to me. But then again I've never attempted this style before so I'm not one to talk to about it.
