Color Saturation and Hue: colors are nicely saturated. The hues seem to border on a slight green ting, at least on my monitor. The white balloons seem to have a faint greenish cast, but could be a reflection, or again, my monitor.
Brightness and Contrast: highlights have been held well, avoiding burnout. However details sem to have been lost in the darker shadows. The white balloons could also be brighter. As this is an advanced challenge there was room for these adjustments.
Focus and Depth of Field: the subject is rendered sharply, as is fitting. The background is soft as would be warranted to keep the attention on the subject. If anything, even a bit softer in the background could be a plus.
Subjective: how does one suggest improvements to an image that already finished in the top five? About the only thing I see here is that the darkness of the path ahead, gives me a bit of a negative feeling, like the child is headed for something not as pleasant as where he is. That, and the bright foliage over the path distracts a tiny bit. Both of these are very minor nit picks. As this is an overall excellent image. Congratulations on your top five finish.
