Really nice photo. i like the color (or lack there of). Very nicely done. The angle is great and frame placement is good too. I would like to see the color version of this also to compare. It's a nice touch with the light shining on the book like that. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

I had the idea of a wagon, but didn't have a wagon, so I'm glad someone was able to doit. I wonder why you shot it on it's side rather than standing up. Was it to represent lost childhood, as the title kind of represents? The lighting and angle are good. The focus is great and I like the rocks being in the background. That little leaf/weed kind of adds a little bit of color to the photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

I wish we could see this better! I really like the idea behind this. Definately portrays childhood nicely. I would say that I wish it were brighter, but I think that if it were brighter, it would be even harder to see. I like the angle on this very much. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

With nothing to compare size to, you almost can't tell they are just little figures. Could be the real thing for all I know. lol. I never got to see the star wars movies from when I was a kid, but this still portrays childhood very well. The lighting is great. No silly reflections, glares or shadows. The placement of the figures is also nice, to not have them directly in the center of the photo puts a nice twist on things. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

I have seen more colorful carousels. This however, is a very nice shot. I would like to have seen more color, but I like how the focus is on his head. Angle is nice and definately depicts childhood to a T. great shot and good luck in the challenge.

What I Lost

Very nice shot depicting childhood. I wonder why you went with B&W here. was it to help portray the "lost" feeling. If so, it does a very nice job of that. The angle and the focus are great. I was almost getting ready to comment on the branch in the foreground, however, with the "lost" theme, the branch fits in very nicely. Looks like it's not been played with in awhile that way. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

This looks like it either had some upload problems, or it was post edited way too much. I am leaning towards post editing because there are shadows on some of them, but the shadows are washed out on the others. I know this is sometimes done to "erase" the background and if this were the case, you definately did a good job of erasing the background. There is a blemish of some sort up in t he upper right corner, but other than that, the angle is great and lighting is good. I like how there are no shadows on some of them, but i would like to have seen no shadows on all of them, but that would probably take a lot away from the photo. Good job and good luck in the challenge.

Very yummy shot. Only thing missing is the soggy crumbs floating in the milk. LOL. I like the angle and the frame placement. Focus and lighting are both great for this photo. You did an excelent job keeping glare and reflection off all shiny surfaces. Congrats and good luck in the challenge.

I hope your bear is doing better than mine. I dont think people like bears. LOL Personally, I love it. The angle on yours is great. He looks so soft. Like he's one of the overyly soft, kind of oily feeling ones. The lighting is good, I think i would have liked to have seen the lighting spread out evenly over the bear. His head seems a slight bit darker than his feet, like the light source was coming from the front, like a flash. If you were trying to get him perfectly centered, he needs to scoot a tad bit to the left. (his right) Otherwise, a very well executed photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
