Great job! I love shots of children. This one is executed perfectly. There is great clarity, and the background of the water, and foreground of the sand almost drift away and become non-existant when focusing on the little boy. He really stands out from his environment visually speaking. I'm raising my vote on this one from what I originally gave you, based on the fact that you met the challenge without leaving the voter to have to figure it out. This deserves a score for it's technical merit and overall beauty of the shot. Giving it an 8.

Her smile is intriguing. But she's not in focus, the gold color's too splotchy, and the bright light makes her hair vanish into the background.

I think it's the uneven layer of gold on her face that I don't like the most. It seems splotchy. Her eyes aren't in focus and I'm not sure I like the lipstick. Nice try though.

Not a photo I'd hang on my wall and in my opinion doesn't fit the challenge very well.

Interesting subject matter.
I think I'd have liked to see more focus on the dust itself then the person. I lose the subject (being gold) against the contrast of her upper body. More reminiscent of a bad tanning gel, imo

Great lighting on the body, skin tone is very natural. Wish he'd given you a glance up so we could see his face. Although, a child fully concentrating on their own exploration is a precious moment for sure.
