Wow, this is just amazing. I can't believe you captured this. Such a great moment.
I think if you upped the contrast more, this image would really pop!

I don't understand why this scored a sub5. It certainly meets the challenge, and I don't see any major photographic flaws. For what its worth I gave it a 6

Beautiful bokeh. I used to ref, so I can definitely appreciate this image.

Parallelism

Comment:
I think this image has a dynamic composition, with a nice pattern, that is just way too gray. Black and white images do well when they have a good range, from pure whites to pure blacks. This image seems to be centralized around mid-gray. Upping the contrast here would have made a world of a difference to this image. Hope this helps.

WHOOPS, I just realized that this is minimal editing. I take everything back and am bumping up the score. Sorry about that.

Very interesting pattern. I love how most of the boxes are see-through while random others show glare. but I don't know how I feel about the composition. It feels a bit awkward...which granted is mostly the buildings fault, but I think this could have been a much stronger picture with a more thoughtful composition.

I think I might have enjoyed a shot of her actually eating the watermelon better. This seems a bit contrived. That being said, the watermelon portrait is a great idea, and the picture is in focus and very well taken. 6

I am not a fan of the vignetting. I believe this would have been a much stronger "more Calendar like" photo if it had been on a pure white background. That being said, the subject is absolutely adorable
