First Impression - the most important one: great colours ... impressive that you got the stop motion with the waves and drips.
Composition: Not to have cropped this is great, but am unsure how you ended up with those dimensions without cropping.
Subject: Meets the challenge ... and does so well.
Technical (Colour and light): maybe a little over-saturated ... now if only you could get them to stay perfectly still .. no that wouldn't be candid :)
To grow its vote?: Top 20 I wouldn't complain.
Summary: Good shot ... lovely image and great capture.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.
Children are way to easy to get candids of. This is cute, and does tell a bit of a story (hot day, get wet), but this can also be seen every day just about anywhere. It really has no wow factors for me as a candid. It's a 4 for me, based on technicals and color.
