Wonderful leading lines and what a gorgeous building! There seems to be a lot of post-processing here - I can't decide if I like that or not, hmmm. I guess I would prefer a bit less post-processing. Otherwise though, I like this image very much for the reasons stated above. Good luck with the challenge!

A little too "over cooked" for my taste.

I like the artful approach. The first thing that jumps out to me is the tilt. It is blatantly tilted to the right and that really hurts it for me. I love the rich tones of black and golden brown. Nice detailing on the brick path and the church itself. The blackened trees work as well.

a ggod snap, but if it was cropped much tighter, to get rid of hte ramp and the onlooker, it would be a much better shot.

The trees make your background too busy. With this kind of picture, backgrounds are something you need to pay particular attention to. It seems you used flash, which was a good choice. Nonetheless a faster exposure would have been necessary. 5.

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.

This is ok, but children and candids go hand in hand really. No big wow factors for me. I could have gotten a million of them this week with my own son, but I prefer with an actual candid challenge to step out of the comfort zone. I gave this photo a 3. It's cute, but just ok.

Fun, quirky angle and great capture of her expression. Her crazy hat adds interest and a bit of framing, as well as blocking out a potentially distracting background. I'll forgive the hokey title.
