Where Have All the Children Gone?

(Better late than never but) I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Great sense of perspective and an interesting subject too. It's a sad scene too I suppose, but I'm glad you've capture. The old swings are at least balanced by an optimistic sky. The tilted horizon works well too.

Critical stuff: There seems to be a bit of halo'ing around the top of the swing cross member.

Overall: Well made.

Positives: Brilliant snapshot with attitude. Great technical capture and a superb family moment. Your contrast handling and vignette work really well. I'm a fan of your coloration too.

Critical stuff: Nope.

Overall: More than the sum of it's parts. Great stuff.

Positives: Great catch in mores ways than one! Great silhouettes and a great onward view of the Statue of Liberty. You are right it offers a simple (but effective) story.

Critical stuff: The stuff you already know - still wonky horizon and rather flat tones (your image carries it though)

Overall: I like it!

Positives: Wow, this is extreme - an invitation for the imagination; me, I see two riders on horseback. Great ghostly tones too.

Critical stuff: Wow, this is extreme!

Overall: A challenging image with both sides of the flip.

Positives: Great fast and accurate focus at this DOF. Brilliant contrast in the tones too. A brave capture to get - but it has such life and is very 'of a moment'. I can see she is cross but I wouldn't have guessed she was cross at you. Well done for running the gauntlet!

Critical stuff: Not really.

Overall: I'd have thought this was a bvy too. Enough said.

The photography you can emulate. The modelling - not so much! ;-)

Great stuff.

Great try but I'm sure you won't mind if I say it lacks the finesse of the original.
