nice effort at doing the selective desat to highlight the shape. Unfortunately the overall image has an unattractive washed out look.
try bumping up the green slightly, For the B&W portion , play with the contrast and make it look even more out of focus to artificially exaggerate shallow DOF.

The colors here are very nice, just the right amount of saturation. I like the crop. The thing missing is some catchlight in the eye. One suggestion, use a reflector, position it so that she will be looking at it, hopefully the reflection will be reflected back in the eye. 7

Nice details on the dog, he needs to stand out more from the background to have more overall impact. Recommend you selectively , blur the background more (add gaussian blur, try different strengths) and increase the dog's contrast from the rest of the surroundings carefully. 6

the handlling of the overall exposure is good.Just that the subject matter and how you presented is not too appealing

lovely light hitting the peaks.the dark portions don't really help the image, recommend a more panaromic crop, 6

this was one of the toughest image to vote (at least for me). It is not a clear cut not my cup of tea (1 , 2 or 3). I do not really like the composition, maybe a more vertical crop to include a little more of the shadows.
I like the fact that the image seems to be telling me how the child is trying to emulate the adult's footsteps and speed. Sorry, 5 from me.

Maybe you can try to go for a slightly different background. A gradiated one would be good or maybe play with reflections of the eggshells.

cool macro, the thing to improve here would be to have a more appealing , nice bokeh background. So in cases like this, you mave to selectively add a blur selectively to your background , 6
