I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Outstanding triangular composition with some really interesting elements - the hair (of course) like a static trick, the laughing child the the abyss-like mouth, the hood worn slightly sideways, the circles of confusion bubbling in the tree and your contrast handling - quite flat but with deep shadows and strong highlights preserved.
Critical stuff: Nope
Overall: Masterful and utterly confident. An image too good, too insightful and too elusive for the likes of me to ever aspire to. Outstanding.
