What an amazing character. This really fits the challenge and in that it is rare. It is one of my two top choices because it fits and it is a fine portrait.

Nice b/w photo. But just looking at the photo alone, nothing extraordinary about it.

Incredible portrait, but I would have liked to see this in color. To me, there's too much detail to work well as a b+w.

Outstanding portrait but should have just stuck with the balloon.......it would have told a story...trying to bring some colour back into her bored life....

Comment by kiwiness:
This is a good image, the lighting is very adequate. No over-exposed areas although it is taken in sunlight. I personally wouldn't have included two colors but rather just the red of the balloon and left the rest in B&W. I am not sure what it is in the sky to the top right of the girl's cap, it looks like a brush stroke or something, it has a blue tinge to it.

I like this photo and how you used the desaturation. Good work!
