Thanks for the views, comments and votes. This little girl thought for a second she had lost her parents but they were headed for her just out of frame.

At first I was not sure if I liked how you blurred everything except for the girl. But this pic kind of grows on you and I find that your processing really helps emphasize the emotions of the moment. Poor thing, I hope she found who she was missing!
Poor thing! Very nice capture. I really like the image and what you have done with the background to make the scene authentic but keep the background from overpowering our poor lost little girl.
I'm a mom...way to evoke emotion! I want to run over and help her! Great shot...excellent color and comp! The DOF really works...you isolated the subject very well.
I gave this an 8 on the first run through. Coming back to comment and look at it a bit closer I can see some technical issues with it. Primarily the halo around the girls head. The selective blur I like as it makes her stand out well but a bit cleaner job editing would have been nice. Did she find her parents?
This caught my attention while scrolling through the entries. The DOF really centers your attention on the child. Her bright clothing is very eye catching.
very nice concept. I like everything else, except the girl out of focus.
Could have also tried capturing their movement for a couple of seconds to make it really blur (except the girl). But i like the shot anyway
Perfect expression, nice colors and good idea to use the blur. Having said that, you could have applied the blur better by making it gradual using the lens blur function as the blurring of stray hairs and the shadows right beneath her feet hurt the image IMO.
