A sweet image. Good work on the selective desat. I feel this is a bit over-exposed with some really bright spots, especially on the boys shirt.

Cute idea. I like that the rose is yellow and not red. I think I'd up the contrast just a touch and clone out the scrape on her knee. Really sweet - meets the challenge perfectly.

This is a nice candid photo of a child taking a bubble bath. Technically: Things are in nice sharp focus but the composition could have been more tightly framed around just the child's head his bubble crown. The other critique is that you title this Bubble Fun but this poor child looks as if he is having anything but.... His lips are tightly pursed and he seems unhappy. A smile upon his face woud have made this shot more appealing and play into the title better. Instead of fun that we stereotypically associate with a bubble bath I am left wondering what he is so unhappy about.

Doesn't look like he's having fun! That chin is coming up for a pout, it seems!

the straight on light, harsh shadows, and lack of composition make this feel like a snapshot to me. Even shooting at eye level with him looking into camera off to one side would make it feel much stronger to me. My score for a nice snapshot 4
