A most excellent shot! (I realize that "excellent" doesn't take a modifier; whatever...).
Normally I don't like partially desaturated photos but this really works. Possibly because the still-coloured areas are so muted. No matter, it just works. The wonderful expression on his face and the composition are part of it, to be sure. Like the nice tight crop - brings it up close and personal.

Original didn't make the list or archive for some reason.] Another image from last Saturday down on the Lakeshore in Long Branch, Toronto. http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/8004763271/lightbox/ I got frisky with Photoshop layer modes and masks and Silver Efex Pro 2 here. Inspired by a portraiture seminar, I converted the original to a contrasty and gritty B&W, put it on a layer set to Luminosity, then brushed in some of the original image colour by painting lightly on its transparency mask. Hope you don't mind it.
