I couldn't disagree more. You've made great choices in content here.

Great execution too.

I so love this photo that I fear the pink and green overlay may detract from such a marvellous image. Perhaps one of those that's too good to be trifled with...?

Where Have All the Children Gone?

(Better late than never but) I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Great sense of perspective and an interesting subject too. It's a sad scene too I suppose, but I'm glad you've capture. The old swings are at least balanced by an optimistic sky. The tilted horizon works well too.

Critical stuff: There seems to be a bit of halo'ing around the top of the swing cross member.

Overall: Well made.

Positives: Brilliant snapshot with attitude. Great technical capture and a superb family moment. Your contrast handling and vignette work really well. I'm a fan of your coloration too.

Critical stuff: Nope.

Overall: More than the sum of it's parts. Great stuff.

Positives: Great catch in mores ways than one! Great silhouettes and a great onward view of the Statue of Liberty. You are right it offers a simple (but effective) story.

Critical stuff: The stuff you already know - still wonky horizon and rather flat tones (your image carries it though)

Overall: I like it!

Positives: Wow, this is extreme - an invitation for the imagination; me, I see two riders on horseback. Great ghostly tones too.

Critical stuff: Wow, this is extreme!

Overall: A challenging image with both sides of the flip.
