Ha! Love that look. His eyes and expression certainly make the pic.

What a flippin' riot! I think this may be my first 10. Let me ramble for a minute.

Though normally I'd say, animals and children do not make for candids, this has to be an exception. The unique expression on the kid's face is priceless. Additionally, your composition is really superb. The spray of dandelions couldn't be prettier. The crop is awesome and the background compliments the subject perfectly. The tones, colors and contrasts are very good, giving the photo depth and making it visually interesting. And, importantly, the processing sets this image apart from a snap shot. Everything in the photo has a purpose, which I also like.

I can't think of any improvements to be made. Not a big fan of frames, but this works ok. That said, I'm going to stick with my 10. Hope you get a good score.

This comment courtesy the Viral Comment Experiment (VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment.

I can't get enough of this photo. It's like watching an entire Little Rascals episode. 10

What a look, the colours look a bit oversaturated to me. Good luck

Haha, the expression of curious discovery is priceless. Photo seems a little dark overall but that could easily be fixed by bumping up the brightness.

Usually, I do not like candid shots of babies... They are never posing for the camera, so to me they are always candid.. This however, is a great capture... Great DOF. This could be on a card in Spencers, all it needs is some silly little quote under it like "Who you lookin' at?"

As a picture, it isn't all that dramatic, but this little guys expression makes it a gem!
