I agree with previous comment - selective desaturation is a really gimmicky processing technique that rarely, if ever, enhances a photo. I know I have done my fair share of it whilst building my skills and I look back on those images today and shudder!
Regarding the actual subject of the image - pictures of our children, unless very well done, rarely score well - it may be a great shot to you as you have a connection with the child, and we all know that photos of our own kids are the best in the world! Sadly other people don`t have that connection with your subject and thus its sadly overlooked. Thats probably why this shot scored badly - to most voters who spend no more than 4 or 5 seconds on a shot - this is a shot of your kid messing around shoehorned into the challenge - and they scored it as such.

I am surprised you didn`t get negative comments on the eyes though.

Hope this helps!
