Great capture of vibrant colors and I love the glow caught by the arm. I know it wasn't allowed by the Basic Rules, but it might have benifitted from burning or cloning out the blue clothing.
Where is the other half of the picture? This one's missing the mark.
Has the lantern got a moving inside to it? I'd like to see the blurry bits in the lantern a little bit sharper (not totally) and also the face of the person being lit by the lantern. Then the composition needs work. Cut it in half, throw away the left side and I think that fixes the composition.
This is just fabulous!! I love how you see the underside of the child's hand. I even like all of the black area on the left - fits the challenge perfectly.
