First Impression - the most important one: My first impression is that this is just such a cute photo!!
Composition: I think that the composition of this shot is good. Especially for this challenge, having the wall behind the boy and mascot, between them and the crowd, helps to give the impression of Singled Out.
Subject: You've chosen a nice subject for this shot. It sounds odd to say that there appears to be an expression on the mascot's face :-) But it really looks that way to me. The subject is interesting and definitely unique.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Color and light look really good! Focus looks good as well. The technical aspects of this shot are all looking good to me :-)
To grow its vote?: I imagine that this photo definitely spoke to the group of voters that appreciates sporting events. I think that many of us remember being that age and how excited we would have been to get that kind of attention from the mascot! However, there may have been some voters who didn't emotionally identify with the scene or may prefer something more "artsy". For me, I really like this candid, slice of life shot.
Summary: A good shot with good technical aspects. A very touching scene and the depth of field works very well for this challenge.
