Effectively desat'ed, nice tonal range in the b/w. I think that you would have more impact (oomph) if you would have left only one car in color.

Intersting. Too bad about the open trunk throwing off the rythm of the picture.

Nice idea. The tight cropping and overhead view makes for an interesting abstract composition. I would suggest elevating the contrast first, perhaps darken some of the greys, saturating the yellow, and then move on to the selective desaturation. As it is now, the yellow really doesn't quite pop and there are just too many middle values and not enough lights and darks to really make this composition sing. Also, even though there may have been five yellow cars on the lot, it may have been more interesting if you had just selected the one with the trunk open to really make a strong statement. The yellow placement in this composition is just rather random. Nice effort.

Very unusual and graphic, almost an ad for a taxi company. Compositon, exposure great.

Amusing. The open trunk gives this an edge ...

A little more yellow saturation would have made this shot come alive!

Good use of the challenge technique, very sharp looking. This could be a great advertisement.

This is one of my favs. The desaturation defenitily adds something to the picture.
