Don't take this personally, but i believe that photographing a page from a book like this is a little less creative that I like. Granted, this is a childhood book, but showing just this page in a full frame is 'borrowing' from someone else's creativity rather than creating your own... - jmsetzler

Mirror Of Childhood

Great photo! I don't have much of a critique for you because I love the image... however, maybe I can help you out anyway :) I bet you are getting comments about the tree branch on the right being distracting. If so, it's hogwash :) Don't believe it! I think the image would be a bit better without it, but It's not a 'distraction' for me at all... good work :) = 8 - jmsetzler

I'm not sure I really understand this one... The title doesn't help me much... is ABC gum a game or something? - jmsetzler

Yank it!

This photo scores well with me purely on creativity :) This photo also demonstrates a great childhood fear. I don't know if there would be a better way to light this photo or not... it appears that a flash was used. The dark shadow behind the string hanging from the door knob makes a nice contrast, but the glare on the door knob is just a bit harsh. Natural lighting of some sort may have improved this one overall... good shot! = 8 - jmsetzler

Just A Blurry Memory

This is an interesting photo, but I think it's borderline on the issue of not having a child in the photo... - jmsetzler

when fear was fun

rollercoasters were some of my favorites too :) I wonder if this particular photo would have been more powerful in a vertical orientation so that it could include more of the track and that huge slope? :) good shot... - jmsetzler

Shedding of Innocent Blood (God Help Them!)

The drama created by the title and the bloodstains in this photo still doesn't relay an image of childhood to me. I have no doubt that you have a childhood intention with this photo, but i just can't see it from the photo.
