For what it's worth, I thought this was one of the most memorable shots of the competition. I also thought that it was as well executed most that outscored it.. I think the lightting is fantastic, and I like the use of color. The expression is priceless, even though you cannot see this child's eyes. I might have cropped closer, but I tend to crop too closely. Anyway, very nice shot.

Really like this - well-posed and the colors are great. The only thing that looks weird is a patch of his hair that looks cloned or over-saturated...?

I love the butterfly on the kid's face. I do wish the background were one solid color.

This is really nice. The kid's semi-grin is perfect. Suggest a tighter crop (closer to the kid's left shoulder for less black "space"). Also heal that little spot on his shirt (left shoulder). If it's not a dust spec, it sure looks like one. Is it a live butterfly, BTW?

Kids can be so mean! Very funny and certainly not something you see every day. Good shot.

This is really nice. How did you get that moth to stay there?
