The Food of Childhood.

A peanut butter and M&M sammich. Yum!! Not sure if the composition totally works for me, but I like the concept and the use of the M&M's to add some punch.

I looked at your file size and I think part of the problem is too much JPEG compression is killing the details. Your file size is less than half what you could have used. Always used the lowest level of compression (resulting in the largest file) that will sneak in under the limit for a challenge. (150K in this case)

Where Have all the Children Gone?

Comment:
Similar to at least one other entry, but I like this one much better. Colors could use a little bumping up, Those slides are normally a bright yellow. That low contrast may have been intentional, however.

On the see-saw at the public garden

I like the texture and appearance of the part that is in focus, but the depth of field should be much better for a scene like this. It also seems cropped too closely, especially at the top.

My eye goes toward the ball, but the focus is on the jacks in the foreground.

Sees a little busy for the sepia. Nothing stands out to me. I can see some good effort though.

If Only...

Good lighting and colors, the image is nice and clean, but it seems a little too still and centered up. Maybe a perspective from another angle might help.

Thread Bears

Decent comp, good detail and lighting. It's not wowing me, but I don't know why. Maybe the loud box is fighting with the bears as the subject for my attention.

One More Empty Swingset

This shot and the title suggests to me that the child has grown up and left. I like the mood and the yellow-orange cast.
