I think it works just fine. The subject is not bright saturated colors
so the B&W treatment of the background just helps the subject standout
without screaming PROCESSED! Oh and cool portrait!

Another image from last Saturday down on the Lakeshore in Long Branch, Toronto.

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.
