I like your choice to name your entry "The Green Leaf" and have the leaf in focus, even though this is a purple challenge. Compositionwise, I'm not sure I like the 2 grapes one on top of the other. I would've cut out the grape at the bottom and placed it behind the leaf and 2nd grape on the right side higher than the grape on the far left, forming a triangle.

Great expression, nice use of the "glowing effect" lighting/processing.

Lighting: The lighting is even, without any harsh shadows, and the eyes sparkle with the catchlight, but the whitebalance seems a bit off. With the light directly overhead, as opposed to the side, the face loses much of its features, but with this face that is not a problem. I do not care for the extreme vignetting, not that I do not like the effect at all, just not this extreme. IMHO, if you wanted the area of the image to be such a small area in the center, why not just crop it smaller to begin with?
Pose: The pose is classic baby, time honored and well accepted; nothing to say about it. However, with his head tiled up so much, I think I would have raised the level of the camera to just above his eye level.
Background: The background is a very nice touch. The soft neutral tones complement the subject very well.

Hard, I'm sure to get a child this young to hold still for a shot like this. I think the beaded necklace really detracts from your subject. The spotlighting is creative but I don't think it helps the overall effect.

Very sweet...cute pose. IMHO, the necklace is more of a distraction than anything. She has such a sweet expression, the catchlight in her eyes highlights it perfectly. Not crazy about the vignette, but it isn't a distraction. :o)
