Hum, well I think the partial desaturation works very well as an eye-catcher from the thumbnail. But maybe the picture in full size would work better in colour..? Although I must say in this case the result is very interesting, due to the orientation of the windows, almost like a film tape statched on the wall.

Nice idea but greater DOF would improve the impact...

Artistic view with a lot of creativity. I just regret that the foreground (the girl) is so blurred. IMHO, I think it would have been better if she was sharper. But still, a very good idea and wonderful view of the outside through the windows. Keep clicking ;o)

Your choice of focus makes this picture very interesting. I really like the way you focus the garden in the background and leave room in the foregrond out focus.
Very good idea,
