I think the expressions on the kid's face are great and the light is interesting, but you could have chosen a better set of ripples, they dont convey a strong pattern here, but a great pic still!

This is a very nicely composed shot of a cute little boy. The eye is really drawn to him and his shadow, which in general is ideal -- but what pattern there is to the ripples definitely comes in second to the actual subject of the shot, IMO.

I like this quite a bit as a portrait of childhood. However, the ripples don't really stand out enough for me to suggest pattern. I think a tight crop of the water taken at a side angle to capture the play of light, shadow, and reflection would have revealed more about the patterns that water makes. This photo really is more about the baby.

Doesn't "grab me" for this challenge. Nice photo though.

So, it's amazing. A like when PP is based on the general or on a specific feeling on the shot instead of being based on some predefined rules. In this case the feeling grabs me, it holds my breath.
Excellent work, congratulations! Gave 9 for the first two times because I'd rather like the focus on the left eye instead of the nose (those votes disappeared as well as the comments), but now I give it 10. What else could I do to express I like this photo so much? :-)

The colors are more freaky than artistic. I just don't get it.

Interesting color; interesting eyes. The theme connection is tough for me to follow, though.
