can't readily read the words. try different lighting sources or a different time of day.

love the idea and focus, just wish the book had been closer to the dog. as is, it stretches the eye to follow bottom up. maybe a different angle with more dog? the lighting seems to work.

for me, there is so much going on in this picture that the words get lost. maybe if shot from an angle emphasizing the words, with less sky?

i get the idea, but the composition distracts from the message. the flash overwhelms. maybe try different angles, putting the phone in the foreground?

No Worries

I don't really see this meeting the challenge, even in title. From a shooting perspective, the white line distracts, and the subject should be facing into the picture. Maybe next time you have this opportunity, try getting the camera down to street level rather than at snapshot level. Also, rather than just taking a picture of a squirrel, try capturing some context to add to the story.

And this represents freedom how? I guess freedom of expression. Maybe try this at a different time of day when the light is not so harsh. Also, try different angles so you can find the one that really flies. I like the background, but can't tell if he's on a cliff. Obviously, with some work, there is some potential here, but, unfortunately, for me, for this challenge, I can't score it any higher.

Childhood Freedom

I had to come back to this one a couple times to get it. Maybe if the fountains were a little more apparent in a first or second glance (or if other fully dressed people where more visible). The lighting is nice for a midday shot, and the focus is sharp. For the picture to work for me, it just needs more context.

On a wing and a prayer

This just didn't say 'freedom' to me, but I've been known to miss things before. The clouds are nice, the shot seems to lack an overall sharpness.

Vacation

This is a tough picture to take, and it takes a lot of practice to get it 'just like in the brochures.' The top to flowers are distracting, and the DOF is too shallow. It's hard to get this to come out right in the middle of the day without the benefit of filters. Looks like a great place to shoot.

Nice snapshot! Great moment to capture (and not one that comes along that often...unless you work there).
