My absolute favorite—I hope it wins a ribbon
The image shows not only the required grit, but conveys also the joy of tactile exploration, the concentration involved in play, and summer fun with dappled sunlight, as well as a child's innocence—expressed through the blonde hair and small hands.

I like your composition a lot - the clock theme and the strings reminds me of the movie "Back to Future"
I'd love to see more contrast in it - but with minimal it is what it is...

What might have bothered some voters are the slanted lines: the building seems to tilt forward. But I think that’s what really gives the photo its true charm—that wink, combined with the title you chose.

The One That Got Away

I admire the idea of ​​using the crumpled paper as a background, along with the folded butterfly. To me, the combination of those two elements alone would have made for a perfect minimalist photograph. I find the small hand to be superfluous—indeed, almost distracting.

Overtourism

Really cool effect - adds more feeling of "too much" to your photograph than just a lot of people in a beautiful village.
And yes, Overtourism is a problem.
