Have you seen my childhood?

I think this is a great shot! It is a thought-provoking picture without being insulting. Michael was undoubtedly robbed of his childhood, and we'll probably never know the truth in the other area.
Further, it is an interesting photographic and editing effect.

Sona Sits in the Shade

Thanks for the color version. It clarifies things somewhat - I was taking the dark spots at the bottom of the hostice as eyes, and did not realize the white triangle was Sona.

And were thoroughly punished for it - as was I (though not so severely) with Square Hexagon.
I gave it a 3 - not necessarily because of the OOF, but because I couldn't figure out what it was. It looks human, but the bright triangle of light below the eyes disrupts the contours of your subject in that area. It also could be an ape, or possibly even a dog. I thought it was intended to be a portrait of some kind, and since I couldn't figure out what it was, voted accordingly.
All that aside, I like the mood this captures. A friend of mine once said in a medieval story he wrote about someone learning to paint - the master said to the pupil, "Don't just show me what is there. If I want that, I'll invent a machine to do it." This picture definitely does not show what is there, but strongly conveys a mood of thought, contemplation, pondering. The grain and tones are strongly supportive of that mood.

Love the silver in the head scarf. She's right there, and almost looks like she could start talking.

I loved how close you felt you were to the field in the old stadium.

This is a very nice shot. Hormel's new packaging? Nice lighting, nice use of DOF. Tying the border into the mailbox flag is a nice touch too.

Lost: Third day without food

Comment:
Sorry. Everything looks too clean and neat for being lost for 3 days - everything looks like it just came out of the washing machine. Cute idea, though. Someone must like the stuff, otherwise they wouldn't keep making it - unless there is a government mandate to do so... There isn't, is there?

Cute idea. Nice use of reflections. Not sure I've ever seen anyone shell dyed hard boiled eggs and use the patterns on the insides for a shot.
