Very underscored. For what is worth, I didn't really think this was staged. Perhaps the postprocessing is a tadtoo strong, but nothing that disturbing. I found it a pretty interesting image actually.

Interesting expression. The postprocessing is mperhaps a bit too contrasty.

Maybe a different white balance and a DOF which would keep both branches and cat in focus would have worked better. Cute shot and huge cat :)

Funny :) The rail behind the man's head is a bit distracting.

Interesting framing and texture. Did you tried black and white on this one? I am not sure if a straight desaturation would work, but playing around with the channels mixer could create quite a lot of interesting contrast.

If the idea is to delay the moment the viewer will find the child and therefore the actual point of interest in the photograph, I like it. However, I find this works particularly well when the photograph has some kind of obvious, apparent subject, so that the viewer can relax, just to then suddendly realize that there is another less obvious point of interest and possibly the real subject of the image.
So, perhaps another angle showing maybe more of the faces of the crowd, or the event they are watching if there is an event, and then somewhere the peering face of the child, would have worked better for me.

I like the framing, even if it looks a bit midway between showing the feet or cropping higher. I think the blank sky spoils it a bit, but I guess that if there was no detail in the sky to start with, it coudn't be fixed by underexposing or using a polarizer. Perhaps setting a darker tone for the leaves while converting to B&W would have helped?

Cute pose and I like the DOF. Possibly more contrast or simply a brightening up the highlights in the background would have improved the image.
