Nice picture, but I was distracted by the hair on his nose.

It's an ok picture. Composition is good, but there's something missing. Also, I find that "hair" on the other side of his nose (or whatever it is..just looks like a white hair) very distracting

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.

I saw a shot similar to this in another challenge. It scored well, and this one is ok too. I feel for a candid that the crop is very tight here. Other than him drinking water, I would have liked to see a bit more to the photo then mouth and drink. It's just ok for me. A 4.

Great theme however I would have like to see the child a little more lit up. Maybe a level adjustment or curves could help.

Cute kid and bright colors. Exposure for face/eyes, less-central composition, and less distracting background would be better.

Nicely done. It's a bit dark, however.

the brightness of the toy and the muted colors of the child and his surroundings is great.

Nice contrast old/disheveled and brand new toy.

Awww, you know that we have to have an emotional response to this one...probably a ribbon for you! Sad to see the poverty, but how happy (she?) is with the bright new toy! 10...no doubt about it.
