Lots of emotion, but the colors seems off.

Definite celebration going on here. I like the sweep from the popcicle to the face. Right aperture to have the background show the location but not be overpowering.

This is a pleasing photograph. I would like to have seen a little bit more below the shoulders. To me, this photo places too much emphasis on the lollipop. I think adding the contextual background that a more vertical crop would have given would have improved this one. Just some opinions. Overall though, I like it. This could easily have that 'family snapshot' feel to it, but you have successfully avoided this.

Great expression and diagonal line. The overall lighting seems a bit dull. This would be great in black and white with contrast adjustment.

It definitely has a diagonal feel, and it's a good idea for the challenge, and a good idea for a photo. The treatment, IMHO, doesn't do the image justice, it makes it look fakey where it could be such a strong image in B/W. ~6

Effect feels a tad cliché-ish. I like the composition & detail, but I probably would have like it more as a straight b&w. I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY stuff is doing any better! You'll likely lap my submission... Good luck!
