With some noise reduction, this could be a nice Freestudy.

Love it!

When I was younger I did a fair amount of babysitting, and this reminds me of what I would call the "attack of the giggle monster." No matter what you did to the kid, they couldn't stop giggling! I used to flip the kid upside down and try to shake it out of them, but that never worked; it just got worse!

That apple just cracks me up. So delightfully evil, heh.

The two buildings at the top of the hill appear to be huddled together, hiding from the fire. Run buildings, run!

That almost doesn't look like it's her own foot! Ohm nom, nom, nom!

I think the DOF could have been a bit wider to capture both eyes, but the one that caught the focus is darn near spot on. I do love how soft the chosen aperture left the remainder of the photo. The skin tone and lighting are great.

As for the psychological aspect, I realize Amelia is a girl, but we're brainwashed to associate blue with boys. I wonder if that is going to have any effect on the votes. I'm probably just thinking about it too hard, heh.

This is one of those thought provoking shots that does pretty horribly here, heh. I love the colors. There's just enough that's recognizable to make this a bit dreamy. I think it definitely has its place, but don't be upset if it doesn't score well here.

Nice concept and decently executed, but you appear to be under exposed by a few notches.

The idea is out of the box, but gross? I'm sure it's food coloring and something edible, but it looks like paint.

I don't think the allowed sizing in this challenge allows this image to truly shine. This would be great blown up and hanging in a suiting venue.

That must be gorgeous in person! I think you might have had to back up a full block to get the whole scene in the shot. I'm not sure which lens you used, but you probably would need a full wide angle too.

Love the water reflections. It looks like you may have been trying to cover up a tiny bit of motion blur with a sharpening filter. Unfortunately I think you may have had too much blur to cover. It's a damn shame too, because that water is gorgeous.
