IMO, this is a nicely composed shot, but it needs to be larger. The rules allow you to submit a photo that is 640 pixels on it's largest side -- yours is 444 pixels max.

Also, I think it could stand a tweak in contrast and brightness. I don't know if you have access to Photoshop, but working with curves is simple and effective. I don't know if they have curves in Photoshop Elements, but if you don't have curves, try an adjustment in brightness (a little darker) and contrast (a little more).

Good luck.

imho, you need more contrast (and less grass below the boy)

blurry and small... interesting subject and decent composition.

The sense of "moment" is present in this image and the obvious character being captured carries some visual impact. Technically, it appears to be very flat and slightly unfocused. From an artistic standpoint, it lacks impact. A worthy entry into the challenge just lacking that something special to make it stand out.

One of the few entries where the photographer knows what a candid photograph is. 8

I wish this one was a little more focused on the boy with the kite. The colors also are a bit drab. I consider too much PP to take away from a truly candid shot but I think this photo could have used a little without being too obvious.

Note-I am not voting in this challenge just commenting on the ones that I can per request in the candid scores forum.
