This does take me back. We also used tin cans and string for stilts. I like the b&w, the composition, and the textures.

The focal point of this very shallow DOF seems off. It appears to be just left and slightly above the "man's" head. I find that very distracting. I like the composition and colors, and I think the shallow DOF would work well if it was focused on thhe primary subject.

Let's Play... Army-Army!!!

Nice old-fashion feel to this. It seems a bit empty to me, for a war game. I guess it's all the smooth white surface. I usually associate this sort of play with dirt, sand, grass, or rug.

Nice focus, contrast, and colors. It feels like the top of the image is cut off. I'm not sure if that is because of all the vertical lines or because of the negative space at the bottom. It makes me wonder how this scene would look with a diagonal composition.

waiting for my special friend... with milk and cookies...

nice composition, and subject, but the white balance seems off. There is an overall gray feeling to this image. The cookies and milk look dull. I think a bright colored background would have improved this shot significantly.

Child No One Can See

I like the one swing being out of line. The image as a whole could be much better. Focus is too soft, light is too harsh, with the sky blown out, and the contrast and color are flat. A basic levels adjustment would do a lot to improve the quality of this image, but the focus must be done during capture.

This is an unusual angle. I don't know why she is squatting down. If there had been a little shovel and a plant, or something that looked like there was a reason for her to be kneeling, I would like it better. But you captured a very nice and relaxed expression, and it makes me smile. I imaging Krissy will like this a lot.
