On Her Own

Great photo. I like the intensity of the clouds contrasted with the smoothness of the sand and the layered waves! The angle works well also. In my mind, it might have been an even stronger photo if the child was ahead of the adult?
Well done!

Solitary Pursuit

It does seem like that surfer is alone with nature and the composition works well. I like the silhouette and the waves. I wonder how it looks in black and white?

Up, Up, and Away!

I like the idea! and the kid does look "free". I think more cropping would have gone a long way with this photo. The trashcan takes away from the mood of the image. Perhaps a "portrait" instead of "landscape" crop that would remove almost all but the kid and the reaching hands?

Great photo! I like the composition and the contrast. There might be a tad too much sky for my taste though...
Well done

Their Own Island

I like the idea, the contrast and the composition. If there had been a lone bird by itself in a corner, it might have made the photo a bit stronger.

Original! I like the composition as well!

Open Water

I recently saw some art photos of lone persons in the middle of totally empty and seemingly vast oceans, sand beaches, parking lots...and the shots worked well. you have a good concept. Not sure if there was more water, but for me, even more water in the picture would have increased the impact of this shot. Making it a B&W might also work?
Good idea!

Going My Way

Great expression, color and pose. The out of focus and receeding road also works well with the photo. Very minor detail but the telephone post (?) with the white box distracts just a tad...cropping it out might have worked better?
Well done! She does seem to have an independent streak :)

What an amazing black and white photo! The contrast and depth of field are amazing, the composition well balanced (the extra swing works great), and I love how the eye peeks out from the chain link! I honestly can't think of anything to do different...
Well done and great message!
