Haha, wonderful street shot. I like the selective coloring as well.
I'm playing with the use of it as well!

I doubt this guy ever gets much of a "vacation". He probably has kids coming up to him and just sitting in his lap and asking for presents.

Great capture but I'm not too sure about the selective colour. I have trouble focusing on the picture as a whole... I keep getting drawn to the shirt.
