I really like the processing and lighting on this one, but I'm not too fond of the mostly centered composition. It would be nice to see a bit of extra space on the left.

I think all children must be like that. Then again, maybe adults too...

This is just crazy Roz! It looks like it could be a painting in a museum, except for that guy's hand. But I like that guy's hand.

Great way to end the challenge, Bud. It looks like this guy has been through a lot, but also like he still has a lot of life left in him.

Love the backlighting and strong contrast. I especially like how you processed the snow, it seems so barren.

Congrats on the ribbon Deb! I read your comments earlier and every time I see the homepage I think about the lighting. You said that there was no way to reconcile the lighting outside and inside and yet I think that makes the shot. The glass is an almost invisible barrier between the girl and the gift she wishes for, and the different tones outside and inside provide even more distance.
