Photo of my nephew in the lake behind my house having a blast! When I thought of 'pure' I immediately thought of him having a good time. What is purer than a child doing what they do best - splashing around?
I wasn't sure if I should submit it in color or black and white, but went with color because his skin is so creamy and eyes so blue against the water. I thought it would have a greater impact. Hopefully I made the right choice!
Not much pp - just cropped, sharpened,and tweaked the exposure just a tad.

Your picture was also under-rated... maybe, as it was mentioned by others, your subject is too centric... but in my opinion it works in the picture... Better eye contact would have helped to the statistics.
Great picture!
I don't think this photo is very flattering. The half light half shade is a distraction. I'm sure the child is beautiful, this shot doesn't do them justice I'm afraid.
