I really like how this photo appear so soft but yet maintaining the details of the child's face and features. Though the cat does appear to be a little over saturated. 8

Okay-- I'm brand new to this Critique Club-- Your my First!!
So Greatings..

I personally thinks this meets challenge, with the open arms and the child coming up from the ground..

Your Focus is right where it should be, dead solid on her face.
Even with your shutter speed of 1/320 it still shows movement without making the picture blurry..

This is hard for my first crituque because I think the voters got it wrong..

If you had to do it again, I guess get lower to emphashize more of a up from ground feel..

Post Processing is also very good..

DPC voters are very critical and I suppose since you weren't laying on the ground, they didn't think it fit the challenge, but IMO it did, and its a great photo..
