Good use of selective saturation to bring attention to the focal point. Unfortunately, the focal point is buried behind non-essential elements. Overall, this particular shot has a snapshot feel to it.

struggling, searching, noticing something colored... Oh, it's a 5th birthday party!
To be honest, aside from the challenge tie in, it's a so-so snapshot at best. Can really only see about half the faces, none of the people are smiling much. Focus is good except on the fast-moving kid at the end of the table. Then there's the selective desat which looks more like an attempt to make sure people see the challenge relevance - like if you could've drawn a red arrow pointing to the cake, you would've done that. It doesn't work at all for me in an artistic way. If the challenge tie-in is not obvious, it is best to plainly put it in the title, preferebly in a short and clever way.

Hang in there though!

Hope this was helpful.

I like your use of selective desaturation here. I wish the cake had less things cluttered around it on the table so I would be seen easier.

No offense, but even though there is a five, the composition isn't all that interesting. The focus isn't REALLY on the 5. It's the gathering.

Nice use of desaturation to emphasize the cake b/c I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. The pictures is still just a little busy for me, though.
