I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

Glasses and hats. A candid photographers nightmare.

Nice photo, but can't see any emotion. The crown is nice. I have won a few of them myself both for national and state pageants. But there is little else being said here to me. No real story or emotion. A 4 from me.

What an excellent use of hands! That is the way to eat cake. First of all I love the lighting and the crop that you used. Second of all, the colorful icing all over this handsome boy's hand, mouth and face is very very cute. But what stands out most of all for me is the expression on his face that you captured. It's a look of pure enjoyment!
