This, my dear, is simply a wonderful picture. The desat treatment works well, but the key here is simply the timing - the capture of their faces at this moment. Very well done, and worth way more than a steenkin' ribbon or average score.

Tone of color matches the action shot nice

I like the idea. But maybe a pocket watch would have been easier to see and would have conveyed the meaning.

I was bothered with the partial name as well, but I could get over it.

I'll only briefly comment as I know you know what you are doing and a 5.8 isn't a bad score. BTW, take a look at my image grain entry. Great minds must think alike.

The first beef, and it's small, is that I have no idea what he's holding in his hand. It's even worse because it's smack dab in the center of the picture and we puzzle over the object more than we take in the desolation of the picture.

I also don't quite like the way the word doesn't make sense. "apham"? We also puzzle about what name ends with "apham".

Those are small though. Just off the top of my head.

I missed the watch. Sorry! I thought you did a very nice job with composing the picture to included just enough of the mother for context with the focus still being on the young boy. Good, original thought for this challenge.

I like the urban sense. The single red of the stop sign is nicely done and achieves an interesting look. The grid of the pavement/sidewalk adds nice texture to it. I like it.

hello again,

i wonder who the kid is really? lol.

it is a nice shot but i thought it was a bit too much. yeah i know indulgence in and of itself is too much, but i would have liked them thrown around or messed about so there was something more in the frame. i also thought that putting yourself in, while was a great idea, was done in the wrong way..... i would have rather seen you playing with them like lighting one or something.

still, it is an overall great shot nice technical performance as always. well done.
