Great idea! I love the angle and the set up is really nice. Lighting is perfect and so is the focus. Definately depicts childhood. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

I like the shadows in this. I have to wonder why you went with black and white. However, I like it. Maybe I would like to see a comparrison of the color to the black and white, just to see, but I think it works well here. You have a very nice angle on the swings. I like the benches in the back. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Childhood Obsession

Very pretty and great way of doing this. I like how it is a painting in the back and the figure of the horse in the front looks like it is in relation to the painting inthe back. The addition of hay is also very nice. The black and white is a nice touch, I would like to see the color version as comparrison as to why you decided to go black and white instead of color. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Milk and Cookies

Looks delish. I love how you can still see the milk on the cookie. Great job of taking a photo through glass. That can often be tricky, but looks like you've mastered it. No reflection, no glare! The clarity and angle are perfect. This photo screams childhood. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

What a cutie! Is he one of the ones that tells if the water is too hot with the color changing bottom? The color in this is great. I love the closeup and how you can see the bubbles. Great clarity! The angle and placement are wonderful. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Flavor Ice!

These look like they were frozen and when they were taken out of the freezer, they frosted up a bit and it's hard to read the labels. These definately remind me of childhood. My son eats these like they are going out of style. the angle and lighting are nice. you did a good job of keeping reflection and glare off the pops. You may have wanted to mix the colors up a bit. I'd like to see another one of those blue ones seperating the 3 reds on the right. The blue one almost seems to glow. If you haven't seen it already, you might want to check out guybrowme's "Cool, fruity, fun" photo in the Advertisement challenge. Kind of similar to this one. I like them both. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

I can totally relate. My 2 year old has close to 200 little hot wheels cars and They are EVERYWHERE. I pulled 2 out of the dryer yesterday. This is a great depiction of childhood. I have the feeling someone is going to comment on how they are "unorganized" or how it's "just a pile of cars". I think you did it PERFECTLY. I wouldn't change a thing. Childhood isn't about organized lines of cars or toys, it's about piles and messes. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Early Morning Hunt

I almost did an easter egg hunt. Glad I didn't, yours is so much better than my idea. I love the colors and the angle. The background adds so much to this also. Very pretty. The upper left of the photo seems to have a hazy kind of look. Otherwise, very nice photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Someplace you weren't allowed to go as a child? This is a truely beautiful photo. I love the reflections of the green (grass?) and the blue sky in the door. angle is great and lighting is good. You did a wonderful job of getting the left side of the door parallel with the left of the frame. great job and good luck in the challenge.

This is at an odd angle. I'm not saying it's bad, or good. I haven't figured that out yet. I am curious as to why you chose this angle. Sometimes different is good. Sometimes it makes you feel like you're going to slide out of your chairl. I think it's ok for this photo. The yellow of the bus stands out well with the greys/whites and blacks of the rest of the photo. I wish there wasn't glare and reflection on the boxes in the background, but probaby couldn't be avoided, especially since this looks like it was taken through glass to begin with. You definately caught the childhood in this photo. Good luck in the challenge.
