Swings - a popular subject. Challenge well met. Too bad about the hazy day, it takes a bit away from the image. Did you try taking this from the opposite side? Good focus on the primary subject. 8 Swash

Challenges of childhood "Should I go for it???"

Is the man blurry or is it the tree. How about the first few rails. Could you have had a soft focus filter on? Why? (for the tunnel effect?) Subtly is wasted on the vaste majority. 6 Swash

Toys Change but the Child Remains

Nice effect. The concept is good, the execution is better than I could do, but it still doesn't quite look "good". The bear is overly bright on the left, blah, blah, blah. I think there are too many elements both, partly visible and fully visible, makes it look cluttered. Maybe two of each would have been more dramatic. 8 Swash

Nice bike wheel. It's a very good picture, but being in the store leaves me wanting...The photo is GREAT (maybe a little too close?), challenge is met.
How about 7? Swash

Cool motion effect. Don't really care for the rug, but you makes do with what you have, so I'll let it pass. 8 Swash

Is the ground gravel? Ouch. I don't like the background. 6 Swash

Very good focus. The dump truck's back end seems a little "bright", but overall, a very nice shot. 8 Swash

I'm sure this was fun, but the blurrrr makes it hard to tell. Not very fond of the black are in the lower portion of the photo. 6 Swash

Strong, unpleasant memory. Another photo used this same concept with a "father figure", it seems to me that is would be a helpful element. I think if I were to suggest the best set up of this concept, it would be something like this: A broken jar in the foreground, with adult male legs and a belt hangning down beside him. This would tell a more complete story than just the belt, you know cause and effect sort of thing. As for the photo itself, it is very stark (bare) and the belt buckle doesn't come across very clearly. 6 Swash

Ooops. This dragonfly needs focus. I think your camera had a hard time "finding" it. I cannot tell exactly where the focus is. I had similar problems with a golden eagle on a dark background, my camera just wouldn't quite get the right focus. Don't hate me. 4 Swash
