very nice image of childhood :) I like the way this kite is not completely contained within the frame.. that adds an interesting element of curiosity :) The camera tilt also makes a nice bit of interest here too... good shot :) - jmsetzler

This is a good 'childhood' photo :) Compositionally, I think there may be room for some improvement... This shot, in my opinion, reminds me of a LOT of child photos that I see around... The photograph is made from a higher angle looking down. I believe that when photographing children, or adolescent themed photos, getting down on the level of the child and shooting level works very well. This shot may also have some more impact of the tree was off center to the right and the swing was more on the left... possibly by moving about 3 or 4 steps to your right to make this photo :) - jmsetzler

A Summer Day Awaits

Fruit Loops... sunny morning... Hmmm... I think i can remember those days... head outside... find the big wheel.. wipe the morning dew from the seat.. begin my morning race circuit along the sidewalk around the house.

The lighting on this photo is awesome. The memory of childhood that you revived with this photo is also quite nice :) = 10 - jmsetzler

Window Seat

This is a great photo... I love it :) The black and white works very well also. The only critique I have is that I wish I could see just a little more detail inside the bus. Maybe a smaller aperture would have helped some, but it looks like you were probably already as small as you could go based on the clarity of the subjects outside the window :) Excellent shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler

I can see it, but the childhood element of this photo is a little weak... The challenge was to 'capture your impression of childhood'.... Is this gate across the walkway your impression of childhood? I can see how it is an impression of childhood, but I would love to have seen something a bit stronger as a childhood impression :) - jmsetzler

Interesting :) I like this image quite a bit. I also like black and whites :) I wonder if there was a different angle that would have provided some more overall contrast in this photo? good work... - jmsetzler

I know this feeling all too well :) I would probably grab a few cookies and stuff them in my pocket and then take off running :) Great shot... - jmsetzler

This is an EXCELLENT photograph. I love the black and white and the contrast is excellent... This photo fails to meet the challenge, IMHO, because it has a child in the photo. - jmsetzler
