Different look at a photo

Ok, so here is the desaturated version of the scar on the knee with the black and white version above it. I think the desaturated one looks better, but I still feel like it isn't as strong as some of my other work. I might just have to retry this one.Let me know opinions.

P.S: The photo at the top I had over looked while editing. I find it works better in black and white than the other image. It's a better texture to me.
