Just stopped and had to stare! this IMO is the BEST photo in the challenge--
Its very emotive, and captures the Spirit of a young mind--

The framing, tones, and subject are all flawless-- I hope this gets offered as a print, its been awhile since Ive seen this high quality on DPC, its just great, and gonna be in my Favorites list-- 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mais oui! Lovely! The spatial emptiness in this photo is absolutely gorgeous.

Boy and toy could be positioned a tad further to the left - to assign a more generous flight path for the plane and to emphasize a classic composition.
I'd consider rotating the image very slightly to level the horizon line...
Ideally, perhaps, the shadow side of the boy could do with more brightness (fill flash?). Yet overall, it is especially the meticulously variable lighting, which is so astounding.

The subtlety of the hue chosen for the image documents fine taste, IMHO.

[It is a 7 on my personal scale (of all I know). I am rating it at 10 in the context of DPC.]
