I like the hyper-saturated look of this image; it fills the background with the energy of a small child, making the scene almost fantasy-like. This should have scored much higher.

I dunno: seems like the colour processing totally suits the subject - the girl and the gist.

I scored this one a "4" during the challenge. The colors are off, which is the first thing people seem to be noticing. The little girl also seems a little out of focus to me, which is probably from the slow shutter speed. I would think on an outside shot, you should be able to work with a little higher shutter...at least a 1/60 would probably have made a difference here.

You might also consider cropping some off of the top, as I think it would bring the viewer's attention more to the subject. Hope this is helpful!

This is a great unique expression, the only problem is the colors being oversaturated, or maybe too much contrast, it is making the colors do strange things, if that is fixed, i could see this scoring 5.5+ pretty easily.

The child's expression is great, would have like to have seen it sharper and more in focus.

Colors maybe oversaturated? Seems to be some "color bleed" in the back of the photo - the purplish tinge on the tree?

Cute expression. The white balance looks a bit off, as I'm seeing a lot of magenta in the trees and grass.

Cute shot, but way too saturated.
