Content-Composition
What a cute picture! But its not only cute, but also has captured a great moment and feeling. Composition is great, with the window framing your daughter but no waste at the sides. Your daughter is framed perfectly with this composition. The awe captured is wonderful.
Background
The blurred background is perfect and really captures motion, while still maintaining some detail, to let the viewer see what she is seeing.
Technical
Exposure is perfect here, with the brighter light from outside not blown out at all and the lighting on your daughter is soft and natural, which shows good detail. Focus is great here, lovely and sharp on your daughter while keeping the feeling of motion outside. Tiny bit soft on the fingertips but it isn't too distracting.
My opinion
Lovely picture and one to frame and put on the wall. Should be shared with all the family! Congratulations on 10th! Good Luck in the next challenge!

Ha ha! Love it! Great lighting and Background. Think I would prefer the composition to be a bit more tilted.

Composition-Content
This was a great idea and very original, while fitting the challenge well. I love the almost silhouette here, which adds atmosphere to the shot. I agree with Bod, I think that cropping off the sides of the picture, especially the main part of the car on the left, would be a very effective composition, more abstract, but this would also fit the atmosphere of the car and man in silhouette. Perhaps it would have been good to have kept the bottom of the wheel in and cropped a bit of the sky off.
BACKGROUND
I like the bright background, it contrasts well with the darkness of the foreground. Not sure about the bush on the right, perhaps would have lookeda bit cleaner without it.
TECHNICAL
Focus is sharp here and the lighting is good, with no hot spots. Use of exposure was very good to get this silhoutte while maintaining the bright background.
MY OPINION
Great picture, perhaps a bit more cropping would enhance the composition and make the picture bolder. But, I already like it just as it is! Good Luck in the next challenge! Natasha

Just don`t get how anyone would give this below a 5, it looks so professional! I gave it an 8, would have been a 10 if she had kept her toes! Fantastic shot and personally can see the link with New Year, house party and all that. Your style is great!

Firstly, I love Thailand, spent about 5 months in the country, great place to visit hey!
COMPOSITION-CONTENT
Its a gorgeous Tablet, a very beautiful image. The crop is good, as some one mentioned it is a tiny bit off center, so maybe this could have been corrected. I think that statues don't usually score really high. I have been to the Thai Pavillion, the buidlings and colors are fantastic there, I think that more of a landscape view of the temples and statues in colour would have done better. As I remember there is a lot of gold at the pavillion and this would have been great late in the day. .
BACKGROUND
As this is a close up shot, background doesn't effect the picture, however as I said previously I would prefer to have seen more of the overall view of the pavillion.
CAMERA-TECHNICAL
Focus is good, the overall sharpness works well.
PROCESSING
As you said, the contrast has been left untouched, I wonder if a bit more contrast would add more impact, but then again, I tend to use too mch contrast! I was also wondering if shooting at a different time of day would add more interesting shadows and lighting.
MY OPINION
This is a great shot, I like it. I am a great fan of Buddhist statues, so this really works for me. Hope that you had a great trip!

Hi there! So there is some one else living here in Japan!! Good shot, I get it, but I am sure most other people won't!! I took a picture of the lions that visit the houses and try to bite the children (rids them of evil spirits) on New Years Day. However decided not to submitt it cause I thought no one would get it! Good Luck in the challenge. By the way, did you also do the Sakuragicho travel shot?

Hi there Azrifel, I get to critique yours this time!
CONTENT-COMPOSITION
Your idea is good and I think that if people could have read the details while voting they would have understood the effect you were going after. As it is, it portrays motion well and fits the challenge, the way the lights bring you into the picture are also good, I also like the motion effect of the passing buildings. I have tried this kind of shot before, using no tripod from within the car, but I wasnt happy with the result. I think that a tripod is a must for this kind of shot, to get the focus. Personally I prefer to be stationary and then concentrate on the lights, yet keeping the buildings in focus. From within the car, I can imagine that it would be pretty hard to get both the focus and motion at the same time, but it's worth playing around with it, while someone else is driving!
MY OPINION
I like these kind of shots and it was one of the first things I wanted to try with my digital camera. Luckily trying different variations of this shot won't waste any film, so maybe find a bridge overlooking a busy road and see what you can find. I wonder if you had changed the title slightly, making it more obvious about the seeing strange things, then it might have helped.
Good Luck in the next challenge
