I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

Children can be captured in a candid moment at any given time of the day, and from the back, side, or front, they don't care. LOL...It isn't really a non-comfort zone candid shot to me. I prefer something different in a candid personally, and one that shows the face and/or more interest or has more kick to it. Something a bit more compelling. They are darling though, and it reminds me of the days when I used to splash in puddles, but for this challenge, it's a 4 vote from me.

This would work better if the viewer could see the expressions on the children's faces. A rear view of a subject can be successful but there needs to be a valid creative reason for the choice. In this case, I don't understand the choice to show their backsides. This doesn't capture the exuberance of splashing. Also, while there are valid expections, it is generally good practice to photograph children at their eye-level.
