I keep coming back to this one. I really like the composition and the desaturation works well...purposeful. I can't decide though whether or not I think the balloon is just a little too red. It's a bit overwhelming. I wonder what it would look like if you toned it down to balance the child instead of taking over the shot. In any event, this is a lovely portrait.

Too many colors and too many hue's of colors for a desat challenge. Had only the balloon been red, or, the jeans blue and all the rest desat I would have voted this a 10........ it's a great pic with great contrast.

i like this very much and wish that you could have shot this without any of the people on the left of the horizon or the lifeguard house at the right behind the net. Dang old no spot editing rules.

WOW! Very interesting shot! Not a lot of interesting ones in this batch, and this one stands out... very well done! This image would be absolutely killer if the dark spot in the sand could be cloned out, but that's not possible under these editing rules ;) I'm going to give this one a high rating, and I predict at least a top-10 finish, congrats.
