As a dad I can certainly appreciate the connection to "Puzzled". I enjoy the processing approach you took with this. Overall, well done and somewhat undervalued in the challenged IMHO.

I am utterly charmed by this picture... to be slogging through one jigsaw after another to find a very human moment so intimately portrayed was pure joy. For that, I'm giving you a Posthumous Blue Ribbon.

I think this has so much potential, I love the idea and the framing. I wish the dof were a little more pronounced so the stripes wouldn't stand out so much. Great lighting.

Oh, what a great take on this theme. Lovely shot.

Concept is good. Little kid puzzled by the great mystery of tying shoe strings. However the laces are obscured so any impact they might have provided (think a big tangle) is missing. Primary focal point of the shot is a toss up between face and point of puzzlement (fingers and shoelaces). The face is well displayed, but the expression comes across as boredom or concentration rather than a puzzled child. Hands/shoe are pushed up against the frame and come across as incidental to the shot entirely (reinforced by part of the left hand being cropped). Processing is nice, has a nostalgic feel.

Very sweet shot. I think there's a green tinge to his skin though, similar to the color of the wall.
