I must confess I didn't pay much attention to this one during the voting, on all that frenzy to get through all images...

One needs to quiet the heart to really appreciate it...

I now can't stop gazing at this image as a whole and, specifically, on the children's expressions.
Beautifully composed (I don't think the crop is an issue at all) and mastered post-processed.
Congratulations!!!

Nice effect, especially the upper background. The white area looks a little too bright in the middle but I love the rest.

That's odd ... a selective desat that I don't mind at all. It's interesting to ponder the question of whether my reaction to it would be similar if the people were desaturated instead of the environment. Would it still seem to be about the people then? Or would it be about the city? I don't know for sure. That's why I like it. 7.
