Good use of leading line but the lines should lead to the subject. Being out of focus, the subject is hard for me to look at. Girl should be in focus with leading line soft at right edge.

Very nice idea. I think it could be stronger if you switched the focus to the little girl making my eye comfortably lead to her. 6

i am not sure if throwing the boy out of focus works here.

Short DOF is distracting. Also a little out of focus.

There is nice composition, it fits the challenge...there is even object but there is no signs of focus. That will take you down. Keep shoting.

Seems to me that *something* should be in good focus here, preferably the girl since that's what I'm drawn to. As it is, I don't really know what I'm supposed to be looking at. It may have made for an excellent shot had you physically moved over to the right (getting rid of the white blob of stuff at the end of the bridge) with the lines leading to the girl.

great composition. I might find this easier to look at if something were in focus, but at the same time I kind of like that I can just make out the child's form, it makes her seem more universal. 7

The line is nice but it leads me to an out of focus subject. Thus I feel as though my journey was for naught.

Nice take on the challenge, final bump. (Still, those reflections are bothering me some. You could have placed some whiteboard or a canvas behind to eliminate those, unless you planned on having those reflections, in which case I just don't like them. Still, worth a 8.
