Overall this is a very busy image. Neither subject seems to be "singled out" and they actually both seem to be competing for attention. The nearest subject grabs your attention initially, but the focus and lighting is on your distant subject. The focus on her seems a bit soft, and she is dominated by the near subject. In short, I can't really tell who is "singled out".

ay-yi-yi--that's a rather in-you-face shot! nice enough, but, for me, it's more of a snapshot than a photograph. but hey, that's just my opinion; as long as you love it, that's what matters.

This shot is not composed carefully. The body of the swinger in blue is missing a head, and the facial expression of the closest person is not interesting. It's a shame, with all these colourful lines added by the swings, this could be a more interesting composition.

Backlighting works very well and great looking cat. I would have cloned the dark part of the background into the top right corner and sharpened a touch more. 8

Good placing, but I think this one should replace the third place !!

Nice elements, colors and shapes, good composition, focus, sharpness, and DOF. Maybe a touch more saturation would help.
