Her litle face says so much, and I like the way you have only colored the main people...

I just don't like the selective desat work here. It's too strong and in your face. I understand the reasoning for it, but it'd have worked a lot better with the surrounding scene left still slightly colorized.

Ok. so you know how to use Photoshop (more than I can say) but there is nothing more to this image than what you have done in your computer. The litle girl is making this picture somewhat interesting, for she represent aloneness. Good luck in future contests. (5)

I'm not really keen on the editing here but I suppose it does help to draw attention to the important elements in the photo.

Found this to be rather interesting but I think the "wonder" is a little lost at this distance. Probably not something you could change, just telling it as I see it. Good luck.

lovely use of desaturation to create a focus point

I don't really like the desatured/out of focus background but the foreground is fine.6

not so sure if I like the sel.desat. - it's almost too strong and makes you wonder more about that than the little girl, but I understand why you did it and the effect is there.

I personally don't like the use of selective desaturation in this instance. An interesting capture.
