The layover is my favorite.  Everything came together.

I would like the portrait just as much if it wasn't for the black area that
joins the hat and shoulder on the right.  Without
that it would be perfect.

As for the aquarium shot, In think cropping just to just the boy would make
a more intriguing picture - you still would
have fish to set the location, but without the girl being awkwardly cut-off.
