her cardigan is very candy flossy too - pretty decent focus here - a simple shot that works well ... only disturbance imo are the colours in the background

Nice moment captured. Something's wrong with the direction of lighting, but I can't put my finger on it enough to make a suggestion. Maybe some USM or saturation would help give it some extra impact. I'd like to see a slightly wider crop too, rather than the tight portrait crop. Great indulgence!

I just increased your score by one point because that is one of the best titles ever ;-)

This deserves a ribbon. This is so sweet! I love how the girl's jacket looks soft like the cotton candy. Lovely lighting, although it's a bit harsh on the left side of the cotton candy and on her left shoulder. Anyway, you captured childhood wonderfully!

A candid or candid-style shot that meets the challenge and is still strong aesthetically (lots in this challenge do the former but not the latter), is well composed (with no distracting random arms or legs of other people poking into the frame) and is full of bright colour - reflecting the whole indulgent and exciting experience. In my top 20 this challenge.
