You aren't the brightest man, no offense. How does this have anything to do with selective coloring? All that I did wasincreased contrast on the subject, andlowered contrast on the background..

I think he means because the focal stands out way too much, like when people make a photo b/w but leave something colored, only this is more toned down. How much he stands out does make the photo a bit cheesy, to be honest. Its almost fake looking. Also I dont like how hes pretty much centered, I would crop the left, right between those two guys.

I like the washed out feel in the background, something just needs to be done about your focal.

Soft but soft in a good way. It's like it's taken with a soft filter or from a 135mm soft focus lens.

The soft diffuse light is great but it's a little on the warm side.

I love the pose as well. The light shining on the bg on top adds a great touch and enhances the atmosphere.

(Yeah I know about centering the subject, but I think that fly + flower only qualifies as parts of a frame)

at first I thought it was pretty harmonic, but then I found the fly in the dead center, and it kinda distracted me from the pretty idyllic look of the flowers. also the blurry things in the background are kinda distracting me. its pretty hard to look at.  6/10

just fired out of my window a few minutes ago as this pretty cool mercedes drove by:
