More llike loosening the axle on Alfalfa's wagon so he can have Darla all to himself! ;-) Very nice pic. I like the selective desat, the cropping, the subject. One minor flaw might be the bill of the ball cap makes a white line that follows the line of the boy's neck and makes the boy's image look comp'd in. A better title would help the Challenge subject also - i.e. "Life before Game Boy" or something like that. ;-) Definitely a top pick for me though!

Love the desaturation on this picture and the wrench is a nice touch too. Nice shot.

Good composition and subject matter. There is a distracting line at the back of the little boy's neck that appears created by post-processing. Otherwise, good use of selective saturation to bring attention to focal point.

I would have never ever considered a Radio Flyer "low tech". Best machines ever made to this day! Even with the plastic hubs. Beautiful shot. BOL

Well done. I like the way you have selectively desaturated the picture to bring out your subject. If you hadn't done this my eyes would be drawn to the little boy instead of the wagon. Great way to make your point.
