Have you seen my yellow ducky?  It looks a lot like this one.

This is my super cute nephew Dylan again, trying to help me out for another challenge. He really got excited when we brought over the rubber duckies, and said "duck" or "ducks" repeatedly throughout the evening. The windows are allowing some sunlight into the room.

A little faster shutter would have eliminated the blur you get on the duck in his right hand. I like the use of the select color.

What a cutie!! Lighting on this shot looks good...nice and even. To improve the photo even more, I might suggest trying to find some kind of backdrop (rather than the carpet). In the lower left corner, the texture of the carpet draws my eye away a bit. I like the selective desat you've used here. My only other wish would be that I could see this little cutie's other eye! :-) But I know what it's like trying to direct children. Still a high score from me :-)

This tells me a story unlike 90% of the other stuff this challenge. Well done.

Great processing work. Too bad the motion blur could not be avoided. I would have liked to see both eyes of the model too.
