Love the expression on the face. The glasses add a lot to the photo both compositionally and giving more interest. The color palette is amazing as there is nothing that conflicts. I like how the child is surrounded by adults. Cute photo. Should have scored higher!

I really like this picture. Great expressions, with your son in the middle with the slightly different pose to really give a terrific interest that is usually lacking in these shots. One of those everything is the same except one, that really makes a strong image. Also like the nice little touches of the varied colored shirts and the texture of the grass. A wonderful image.

Stair Voyeur

I like the angle and an interesting idea. What would have made the shot for me would have been one single person coming up the stair looking at the camera. It's just too many backs for me, I know that was part of the idea. :) Exposure is nice. This is more of the traditional black and white than the high contrast stuff you usually see which I like. A well taken shot. Congrats!

I gave this a "6". I think the context is great, gives really expressive emotion to kinds and there fun. Wish I could have seen the other guys face fully, as his arm blocks distracts a bit. Maybe pull out a bit more. Still an interesting shot and a good photo of everyday life.

Come back soon.

Great photo. I always believe that 90% of the time taking pictures of people's backs is a bad thing. This picture falls under that other 10% as it gives good context to the photo. Sure, I think if you had another guy in the bench look back toward the lady, it would have been perfect, still it is terrific the way it is. The technicals are perfect: lighting, sharpness, focus, depth are all there. The composition is idea, nice low perspective catch the whole body of the subject, with the leading line in the bench pointing toward here. The texture of the ground and it's wetness add a lot of character to the photo. A wonderful well executed shot. Congrats on the ribbon!

Great score and a terrific placement. Funny I actually like "Your hair is fine" and "In Color" more though (a lot more). Being honest, I really wasn't a fan of this picture. Don't get me wrong, it is a good shot. I like the exposure, a good use of the frame, good depth and sharpness, and great textures. The expressions are wonderful and I like how the guy in the middle kind of stands out compared to dress and expression. I can see why this photo did so well for you. I think my problem is I "personally" can't relate to the photo and really has nothing to do with the photo itself. Congrats again!

Slight crop off the right (to the door line), slight crop off left (remove headlight) and a bunch off the sky (back to 4x6 format) that is all I would change to this photo. A ton of character in this one. I love how everything is perfectly in focus except for UncleSam. Creative idea and superb title.

An interesting photo. It is one of those types of photos that I think would work best in a series rather than alone. It kind of grows on you the more you look at it. One think I might suggest it burning out the ear/face of the "other" child, since it does not add anything to the photo. While I don't mind the "green" tinted one I do prefer the straight B&W you have converted.

A side note: I think P&S cameras use a 4x3 or 5x7 format in general. I think the same photo with a typically 4x6 DSLR format might have even worked better, starting with the same point on the left. I would have loved to see a bit more of that handle bar. Nothing to do about that one, just a last minute notion.

A terrific photo that I think was befitting of a higher rating in the challenge.

A Friendly Face Stops To Say Hello

I'm not going to say too much about the photo, it is very well exposed and a creative shot. I'll just say a few "nitpicks", very minor stuff and doesn't take away from the shot. The bar going through the head of the other and the bar in line with the boot. It probably could have been recomposed to remove these little distractions. I also think it might be a little over sharpened for this resolution as I see some haloing and around the hat.

Overall very minor stuff to a well composed, well thought out image. A good score and a very refreshing scene (the expression on the one makes the shot).

Victory!

Wonderful exposure and moment. The colors really shine here, and the stopped motion is wonderful. I really like all the lines going on, even the expression on the driver is terrific. I'm guessing the lower score was do to not seeing the "whole" vehicle, which is a shame. This is a great photo.
