Nice macro! Great colors! Not sure how much room you had pre-crop, but I would have cropped out more of the left hand side and played the butterfuly off the darker green and purple backgrounds. The middle-lower-leaf is a little overexposed and very distracting. The background greens also seem a little processed, but still play nicely against the colors of the butterfly. I just don't like that leaf on the bottom. DOF is spot on! Nice shot.

Nice image. Love the water flow and different textures - great exposure. Very nice picture, but also pretty common. Good luck!

I love the matching paint and eye colors, great use of background. The wind swept hair look is always cool as well! Only thing I would have liked is a little tighter crop on the face to better play out the eye/background match. No points off for that, just my opinion. Great shot!

Nice clear, sharp image. Good exposure. I like the way you captured the lighting of the arch against the dark clouds.

Nice soft image. Wind-swept hair is always a cool look IMO. Great cropping and tonality. Only change - I would have liked the eyes to be just a little sharper - not oversharpened though, but just a little more to really make the beautiful colors in the eyes pop! Bumping up.

Great capture! Sell this one back to the aquarium! Cute candids don't always do that well in these challenges, but I like it! Bumping up.

Nice clean image, great exposure, wonderful colors. The horizontal tilt - not my style, but I like the way it fills the frame and do appreciate the attempt to do something different - kudos for the effort!

Lovely picture. Nice soft focus, great lighting and tonality. Not sure how well it will do in this challenge, but I'm sure this one scored with the parents/family - which is all that really matters (IMO). Nice shot - I'm a sucker for a great kid pic. :-)
