My Dream of Childhood

Lovely soft image. Great DOF. The soft focus and downcast eyes are both strong compositional elements. Just a bit of a purplish cast on the child's face as well as some noise.

Breathing Under Water

I really get a sense of being under water in this picture. Two outstretched hands might convey this even more.

What a wild entry. I can't even begin to imagine how you shot this, but it looks surreal and frightening. Great expressive piece.

Enchanted Forest

What a delight for the senses. I particularly like the haziness in the center, as if something is on the verge of materializing.

Not a huge fan of the border however, particularly since it is not a uniform border all the way around, but thicker left/right than top/bottom. A simple, uniform white border of about 8-10 pixels all the way around would work best here.

Overall a great entry and the border is not that distracting. Well done.

Very nicely presented. I like how you're on the fringe, because that's where I usually am (or more commonly worse) on my approaches LOL!

Love the detail and sharpness of this photo. Nice rich tones and clean, first rate processing. To me, this picture is a 1000 words of despair. Very well done!
