I'd probably have tried doing the desaturation more selectively, using the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom; or similar tools in Photoshop. Subjectively: Over saturated, solid color, lacking separation and detail, simply does not work for my aesthetic purposes. I've seen that "separation" can be found in most over saturated image files; and believe it's best to bring it out to whatever extent possible. YMMV.
