I have high expectations for this image. I'll find out if they were warranted or not.
*After Challenge* Well, I didn't score anywhere near I thought I would. I truly believe this image is better than a 5.7 score, but that's what the voters gave me. I'm very happy with the image as is.

Wow, what a moment you caught here. I gave this shot a 6 because it isn't as sharp as it could be. I would try to stop down the lens a bit to increase the sharpness and apply some more post processing unsharp mask or smart sharpen to it. Great job and great capture.
Think I would have just cropped that knee out and been ok with cropping a little tight on her elbow to get rid of the distraction. Cute, playful image, lovely lighting and nice use of depth of field.
