Not a real big fan of the selective desat on this one.

i, personally, don't care too much for the desaturation, but i do like how the tank over-shadows the little boy and makes him seem so much smaller

Very good Selective Desaturation, It really makes the child the main focus.

He is so tiny compared to that big ole truck. I like how you got on the ground to take the shot (or at least put your camera there)..nice angle. I like the desat..

One of my favorite shots in this challenge. I love the pose you captured and even without seeing his face I can imagine the awe and wonderment he is experiencing looking up at that huge tank. I think the selective desat works well here as he doesn't get lost in the photo. Well done!

This photo scares the hell out of me. I don't know if that was your intention, but intention is irrelevant. The photo has a huge impact, so I'll start you at 8.
