Awesome shot! I'm amazed that it didn't score in the high sixes!

Hmm. Not sure about the selective desat. I like it in some cases, but here it draws me away from the absolutely adorable girl to the shirt. Yes, I know, that was the point. But man, what a cute kid!

It beats me why this didn't score higher. Weird. It's so beautiful.

I just think this is an outstanding photo! Such pure emotion, such a vivid picture. I gave it a 9, and I give very, very few scores that high.

That's not a dress, it's a t-shirt, but it's still a captivating photo. Great expression, pose, and smile!

I think the selective desat really works well. It doesn't take away from, and even emphasizes the childs joyous expression. Looking for nitpicks it seems the sharpness in the face is a little too soft. Other than that, excellent photo!

Good composition and use of selective desaturation. The highlights on the feathers are a little blown out. Other than that, nice shot!
