Great photo! One day I'll have to learn how to bring colour into a photo as something as intricate as you have done. I guess being stuck with post processing software that comes free with the computer won't help me.

Good use of selective colour to draw attention to the shoe.

Very nicely done. I like the partial desat. Would it not have been better not to chop of part of her head though?

This type of bridges reminds me of the movie "The bridges of Madison County"

A cute shot, though it's got some problems. Highlights on their faces are a little overexposed. The ridge right behind the upper boys head tends to draw the eye. A wide aperture could have helped to blur it so as to not be as distracting, or a perhaps a steeper perspective, so that it was not in the picture. Also, your file size is a lot smaller than was allowed. It's only 84k and you could have used up to 150k for this challenge. You have likely lost some clarity and detail to JPEG compression, though I do not see any obvious artifacts. Check the JPEG compression settings in your image editor and always try to save as close to the limit for a challenge as you can get it without going over.

Whew! Hope that wasn't too harsh.

This seems too "snapshot" like to me. The focus is not sharp and the background is distracting, especially the two lines that run your your son's head. Using a shallower depth of field might help by rendering the background blurrier.
