Running Boo

striking. a little sun child. I like the position he's in, one foot raised as if in defiance of us. I'm curious if the shadows are real or if you used idnic's dreaded lighting technique.

Jogging

wonderful. I love the stiffness of the girl's pose and smile even though she's running! It reminds me of print advertisements from the 50s and 60s, when everyone was so damn happy. The zigzag of the road serves to emphasize the superhuman energy of this girl. The viewer naturally assumes that she has navigated this entire zigzag with the same boundless energy.

Finally, you have one child with his hands outstretched as if to catch the wind and cause the entire assemblage to take to the air. And then you have the other child, who shares the disbelief and cynicism of the viewer.

The Force That Through the Green Fuse . . .

notice the man in the upper right looks down at the people in the photo below him... and in that photo the woman looks at the man, and the man looks over at the third photo, which seems nothing less than the "force" itself, the force that gives life and the force that takes it. This photo gets smarter every time I look at it.

I like the serious expression. If this were my niece, I would prefer this over the smiling portraits, since they usually look so fake. Then again, a genuine smile is a real pleasure. I enjoy the ambiguity of her expression, though.

Originally posted by Wildcard: it has a lovely expression of wonderment.

yes, and because we only see his eye, it's like we're only seeing the wonderment, not seeing him at all. Which some people will hate, and which I love.

Plust it's just a great abstract composition, with his circular head being balanced by squarish forms. you even have round yellow forms up top to balance the colors!

I gotta tell you, this is sorta my kind of picture but I didn't like those dots on the top. I gave you a 6.

My reaction to this while voting was non-reaction. I gave it a 5. I think your description sums it up well. It is a not very exciting composition prettied up with color and obscured with a vignette. I almost never like vignetting, because it is so often used to attempt to compensate for a composition that's not doing the job.

But you scored a point and a half higher than I did in this challenge, so no worries. :)

I disagree that this is second. this is your most artsy-fartsy photo yet. you are totally infected, dude... and this stuff is VERY hard to get out of your system!
