I'm really disappointed with the score this received. I'm not sure why it wasn't received well.
I'm comforted by the the great comments and favorite. Thank you.

I gave this a 7. Nice 'innocence' captured. Maybe a more refined crop may have packed more punch... Just the subtle distractions for me, including the enclosure in the background, take you away from the 'moment'.. if that makes sense. Lovely focal points.

I was sure this would be in the top 10. Shows how wrong I can be. :) You should be very proud of this photo. The 8.4 the (commenters) gave you should tell you something. ;)

I love this one! However, I think you could have made the colors more unified.
