The desat works well here, I would have preferred a shallower DOF to isolate the background more.

Comment by posthumous:
DaPitL was really Dana Peavey Longstern, a musical prodigy who played all the instruments on her albums, sometimes two at a time. As her "band" name suggests, she yearned for the childhood she never got to have. Hers was spent in a poorly lit basement, where all the musical equipment was kept. Her mother had oversensitive hearing and couldn't bear to hear her child practicing. So Dana dreamed... and played... in the dark. She tried to build sunlight and meadows and trees with her music, but could never quite convince herself. She did sense, however, that there was a place, a slightly better lit place, somewhere within her music. The doorway seemed to be in the vicinity of a melody she wrote, the melody that would later become the first song on her eponymous album, "turn and pull". She played that melody over and over, trying to get closer to that door. When she learned to play the clarinet (it took her all of a day) she found that she could create windows to this magical place, windows glinting with her reflection. Unfortunately, her own eager visage blocked her view of whatever lay beyond.

One day her musical success brought her to New York City, where she thought she saw the same world... just beyond her reflection in the East River. They told her not to lean over so far, but she said "It's alright... I can fly."

Nice shot, fits the title well although level is slightly distracting.

I like the image a lot. The backlighting is beautiful in the way it creates halos of the small child's hair and that line of gold around the other. I like the framing provided by the two hanging rings top left and right.
