I drifted freely through the wind.

I love the dreamy feel, the nostalgic colors, and the pose, which makes her seem to be drifting on the wind. But I don't get why her face is covered. Still a 7, but with her face showing, a point or two higher.

It seems to me the memoir should be about you, the photographer, as opposed to the bird, but at least you connected the title to a story. As for the photo, I have a few concerns, but you can decide whether they're worth your worrying about: the bird doesn't seem as sharp as the branches in between it and the camera, the composition feels a little unbalanced - try it with most of the left side cropped out, and the colors seem a little green.

My Fondest Memories Are Road Trips

THANK YOU for actually writing a memoir and then illustrating it with a photo. And it's a really nice photo with a great vintage feel, clearly connecting to the idea of an adult remembering childhood road trips. In fact, this is getting a 10 from me for both the memoir and the photo.

I like this one even better! Something about the emotion captured by her showing her doll what she sees ...
