Okay-- I'm brand new to this Critique Club-- Your my First!!
So Greatings..

I personally thinks this meets challenge, with the open arms and the child coming up from the ground..

Your Focus is right where it should be, dead solid on her face.
Even with your shutter speed of 1/320 it still shows movement without making the picture blurry..

This is hard for my first crituque because I think the voters got it wrong..

If you had to do it again, I guess get lower to emphashize more of a up from ground feel..

Post Processing is also very good..

DPC voters are very critical and I suppose since you weren't laying on the ground, they didn't think it fit the challenge, but IMO it did, and its a great photo..

Thats a real "Crisp" Macro--
If you can keep this detail on say flowers or smaller still life subjects, than you will have some good shots..

Very good shot..
I agree with Rex, if she stood a bit more to your left, then the BG would have been all grass & probably woulda made a better shot, but I like this photo, nice job.

Kinda an Ironic Title since he didn't make it into the Chase.
Very Nice photo, even it is wasn't Gordon. The Reflection in his glasses makes the shot..
