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

Nicely done shot here :) I try to think of more happy times in my childhood and the childhood of others... You have done a very nice job of relaying your thoughts here though :) - jmsetzler

This is a beautifully executed photo... the lighting is excellent. The image itself doesn't really show me a feeling or a visualization of 'childhood', but i still like it :) - jmsetzler

This is interesting :) As I look at this photo, I wonder what could have been done simply with the box of matches and the firecracker? :) Good shot... - jmsetzler

This photo holds a special meaning for me :) Take a look at this if you get an opportunity:

Kids always are willing to take a risk. Is this an old railroad bridge? I initially thought that it was, but it appears that the rails have been removed. the camera angle also gives the impression that that this bridge is on a slope... i would love to hear some details about this photo at your convenience... good work! = 8 - jmsetzler
