I like the capture of the light haloing the blond curls. The child's expression is beautiful. I think you could crop this to a square-ish format, eliminating the twiggy shrub (but not the birch).

maybe the best interpretation of the theme in show.

I like the fact that the child isn't looking at the camera,and playing.

Concept and framing of this image is good. This reminds me of jumping in piles of leaves when I was a kid. It is probably your camera but the overall quality of the image makes it look more like a snapshot. I don't know where you live but judging from what I can see here it looks rural and if it is I envy you.

I love the boys curles and red cheeks. Nice shot

nice picture - but doesn't express serendipity too well

the glowing hair moves this into the art category for me; I'd like to see the shot with a tighter crop around the subject (and perhaps more of the leaves since it's in the title)

This should would be perfect if you could see more of his feet and the splash of the mud.
