haha good capture though it feels a little grainy for my liking it doesnt really add anything to the image.

The selective desat definitely helps emphasize the anachronism in this photo, but I wish there was more detail and clarity on the figures in the shot.

I will own to bias here, as I am no lover of partial desaturation. I find the choice of blue as the only colour to remain makes the photo look very cold. I would suspect that you are trying to draw attention to the contrast between the historic dress and the intrusion of 21st century paraphenalia, but I feel it would have been better left.

let your photograph do the talking. it doesn't need the the obvious "hey i desatted it because I need you to see my point". I don't dislike desat, just saying...

The Pepsi bottle caught my eye and stayed there. Other then that this is good, love the tones you used and the light is good.

This is a great moment caught, and by now, I'm sure you are getting the same comment I'm leaving - why the blue bottle??
