Let me guess: Some untalented & envious digitoy shooter is going to post
a sarcastic comment...

No, but I will.

It's ashame about the blown highlights. And the way the shadow detail
got stomped on, it almost looks like a Nikon D70 pic that was converted
to B&W.
Oh yeah, and the color seems a bit off to me as well.

Again, I like it.

Blownout highlights? It *is* a night shot.

Maybe it's a matter of using a brain instead of a microchip inside the
camera...

Maybe it's a matter of a brain instead of a microchip inside the camera
making the choices.

Also, there's something called composition; maybe you should look that
one up in the dictionary...

The range between high lites and shadow detail to say the least
extreme. The eye tends to stray to the bridge that is blown bright
white. A slight burning of the bridge would help in that matter.
The shadow area where the child is tends to loose detail but has
enough to have a sense of the area.

Other than the over done high lites, very well done.

The image can invoke a plesant eveing stroll with the child being
enviromentally correct with the throwing out trash. or it could be used
as a warning to be alert about children. No adult in the image is
watching the child and the child being in shadow could be sweeped away
without any warning.

IMHO I prefer the former. But am aware of the posiblity of the latter.

Getting even isn't good enough.

That's a good shot. Who says you need highlights for every shot? Hell,
I used slightlu OOF shots in multiple exposure pics of mine. This pic
looks abstract, almost painted.

Boy, you sure are persistent, Daniel....For what it's worth, I do like this
one a lot better than the others....It is very like a B&W watercolor
painting, and it has a lot of compositional interest, at least to
me......Either you are improving, or my taste is changing.......:^)

No, the D70 has Matrix metering. Looks more like the WB setting was
improperly set on a 20D.
