I only gave this a 5 because the focus bothers me. Not only the OOF people, but the items on the table are hard to make out. What I do like about it is the little boy looking longingly at something on the table.

The bright colors seem a little over processed and grainy.

I don't understand what you did here. The items on the table are all quite noisy/grainy like they were underexposed and brought back in post-processing - or - the whole thing was noisy and you ran noise reduction on the people and background? Just an observation. Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

The people in the background are out of focus, and the foreground table is very grainy.

The colors seem a little off, also the amount of noise makes the picture feel more cluttered than it is.
