Um.. 5.1 here I come.. or lower.. *sigh* I've been editing everything with a weird tinges these days. I don't know what's wrong with me but I still kind of like it this way.. People will hate the editing, and this isn't a portrait and portraits do well in a candid challenge...
Simply desaturated all colours except red. Put a sepia filter..and tada!
And no this wasn't wasn't posed. I'm just crazy woman who clicked on burst and ran off into the wild..

Absolutely fabulous and I would have thought it would have placed MUCH higher. This needs to be printed and hung on a prominent wall in your home. Congratulations on a great photograph.
This is just a beautiful picture, plus or minus nothing. The selective desat does no harm at all and the sepia is just great. Firing off mad bursts and running sounds like a technique to me :)
Bit sneaky you getting a better Posthumous ribbon than me, but there are forces over which we may have no control.
The sense of "moment" is present in this image and the obvious character being captured carries some visual impact. Technically, it's a very well composed image which is a plus. From an artistic standpoint, it lacks impact. A worthy entry into the challenge just lacking that something special to make it stand out.
