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: Almost Ubique-like in its mood (what could be better); though perhaps a little too 'finished'. The amount of blur on the child is just perfect - a stark contrast to the crispness of the rest of the frame. The toning is great too.
Critical stuff: There's something about the sun that creates the impression of target banding - it distracts a little.
