I like the selective desaturation, but he really gets lost in the busy background. I think a little closer composition would help a great deal.

Neat picture. I love the lines and textures and the way the child seems so small next to those big trees. Well done.

Based on your title, looks like you are trying to convey a kid going off into the wilderness. It doesn't really grab me as failure. I wouldn't call this a did not meet challenge, but more on the lines of you don't fully convey your objective.

Technically: the photo is pretty good. Nice use of color.

Just saw this. It's unusual and I love the yellow/black/lilac combo. Nice how the balance of the bird and the stem with leaves gives you two things to look at.

Nice Ray! I like it. One thing I really like about it is the way the bird is looking back over its shoulder. Good detail on the bird - looks almost like you could reach out and touch it! ;^) You can do a lot of things with that background (easily select the color, replace it...you know, maybe white? catch my drift? he-he).

Smile and keep having fun!
