I'd have said that this one missed the correct challenge and should have gone into the Risk challenge......risk of too much joy for that little guy! *grin*

Actually, quite clever! Well shot and really outside of the box thinking! Too bad that others didn't see it the humor in this shot. Should have done really well! Keep on thinking the way that you do. Love it!

Love the colors, love the focus on the number! It really did meet the challenge. I also love the idea that there is action there, rather than a static image of a number so to speak. This was such a rather dull topic for a challenge that it's hard to have gotten an image that would truly excite voters. Overall, I think you did an excellent job!

Edited to add...I love the dust that you captured in there as well! It adds a bit of drama to it!

BUT...$3.00 for a guy to push a swing?! LOL There was nothing renaisance about the pricing, was there? *wink*

I think it is interesting that the kids are looking at what i assume is someone standing beside the camera and the fella on bottom is looking into the camera.

I fail to see how anyone can say that the "colors seem off"??? According to what? What can that statement be based upon as a comparison???

Ok, maybe, I'm blind because I can't see the "blow outs" that others in here can see! What I see is a great portrait shot that is really pleasing to the eye and senses composition, content, colour, light and just about everything else. It's not the "technically perfect" that grabs attention in a photo! That seems to be what a lot of people in here don't seem to value! What I see here in this family portrait shot is a great time between father and children, happy, smiling faces that portray the sense of love and closeness that a family has with one another. That, to me, is the message that SHOULD be portrayed....not the "blow outs" or the "oversaturation" that I still can't see in this either!

Keep on shooting what pleases YOU and emotes something from others. THAT is far more valuable than technical perfection! Please don't change your view from behind the camera to please voters in here. Keep up your own style and eye through that viewfinder because you've got quite an eye!

Edited to add....don't forget...every monitor is different so, everyone viewing this will see it slightly differently.

What's the matter woman...not got an iron? Well, I, for one could not see the glasses at all for that crease in the table cloth!
