I am pretty happy with it, especially considering I had no clue what I was doing. But that one was done with camera in b&w mode as opposed to post processing to desaturate. I can't decide if it makes a difference in the quality. But I kinda like having control of HOW it desaturates. I often see a pretty big difference in lightness vs luminosity when I do it in GIMP, whatever the heck those things mean. It varies by subject which I pick. I've used average a few times also.
