For me, I wish the overall tone was brighter, not so....overcast or dark. I do like the composition and her oustretched arms. Nice pink boots too. :-)

For me, I wish this was a bit...crisper...or something (not great on the technical stuff - sorry). Also, the shadow on her arm looks a bit odd and I wonder about the plain background. I do like the expression on her face though. You captured the happiness and love.

Celebrate Pets that Fly

I wish the bird had been more in focus rather than the tree and doorway in the background. Keep trying and I'm sure you'll get a great shot of the bird in flight. Looks like a very beautifully colored one.

I'm not sure what your title refers to, but that's neither here nor there. I'm focusing on the photos themselves in this challenge - since I see it as wide open. My favorite part of your photo is the helmet in the child's left hand. The right side of the photo is a bit dark for my tastes, but the overall use of black and white doesn't really give me a sense of celebration - almost the opposite, actually.

Celebrating the end of the drought

When I looked at your photo (without looking at your title first) it actually gave me a sense of lonliness. I think it's the empty bench and overcast tones. Then I read your title referring to drough and it just doesn't seem to fit well. Sorry.

Lots of Loving !

Animals are a cause for celebration (for me) as they offer unconditional love. The flash is a bit too bright and his poor eyes are glowing. Sweet dog though.

For me, I don't see the celebration connection in your photo (sorry). Your title refers me to the sky, but when I look at your shot my eyes stay focused on the boardwalk and the bright sun refelctions of the water on the left hand side. Perhaps a different time of day would work better?

For me, having the fence in the foreground distracts and detracts from my overall impression of your photo. The fence covers up her face, but I think she's having fun.

Celebrate Friends

With a bit more focus, and maybe a bit less of harsh lighting I would have scored this higher. I like the tones you chose to use.

For me, this is kind of the opposite of celebration - or the result of too much? Bit dark and gloomy for me, but the composition is good.
