I like what you did in post on this one. Sharpness and exposure is great. I am guessing that was ice traditional what they were sitting on? Simple patterns, very nice texture. A good shot for the challenge.

I enjoyed this. It almost has a Lichtenstein feel to it, haha. The muting of the whites worked well, really softened it. I noticed the effect while voting yet processing did not shout out to me, which is good. Btw, the face has such an old-fashioned look - like a chubby boy from a cereal box from 60 years ago. Very cute, and good spot!

This certainly is an interesting shot. I would say it meets the challenge well and it is comical.
