A dream shouldn't be squashed that easily. Replace the string. :D

Nice job with controlling the backlit subject. Fill flash? This is a fun and creative photo that is enjoyable to look at. Good luck in the challenge.

Forgotten Violen

How could it be forgotten? You'd be hard pressed not to kick it coming thru that door. :D BTW, the open door is a nice touch in helping the composition. It's funny, you've left a lot for the viewer to complete as nothing in this photo is all inclusive (part of the violin, part of the door, etc...). The 'School Days' connection on this is? Overall, an interesting image to look at. Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful! Now the question of was this a natural discovery, or did you set it up? Either way it doesn't matter, it's a marvelous photo. I love the B/W tone, you've covered the range very well. The repeating pattern and discrete diagonal lines also adds to the dynamic here. Bravo! Good luck in the challenge.

Bad Day!

Please tell me this isn't your kid and you let him be sad while you took his photo?! You've certainly grabbed an emotive shot. I guess being a parent it's hard to imagine seeing a little one this upset and not picking him up right away - the heck with the camera. All JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I like this for the interest and composition. I think it could use a little more contrast and/or levels adjustment to cover a wider B/W tonal range. JMO of course. Good luck.
