cute shot, but the faces look a little on the dark side. 6

Actually, colorful shirts... would love to have seen their faces in color, also.

like the color in the flowers. for me, it would have been more effective if either: 1) the children were colored entirely, not just their shirts, or 2) the flowers the the children's faces/skin/hair etc. (i.e., everything, but their clothes) remained in color.

Words & graphics on the shirts are a bit distracting, but a lot right with this portrait... composition & select color really work for me. Nice job!

That is a great sky, but their faces are so gray! With their shirts in color, the gray skin looks kinda nasty, especially on the smaller girl. A higher contrast would have helped here, I think.

I really like the composition and processing on this image, but somehow the selective desat. seems gimmicky here, rather than adding to the image.

this is a beautiful photo. that said, i'm not entirely sure if the selective desaturation applied here is enhancing it (unless you're doing t-shirt advertisements or something). alas, i still kinda liked this.

I would liked to have seen the faces a little brighter.

I don't know if you meant this to be spooky, but it sure as heck is :-)
