This one is screaming bvy at me. Possible that I've seen it before on your Flickr page, as this cute little girl seems familiar. It also reminds me a little of one of my own shots from last year.

A good effort, but a couple of things are causing me to give this just an average vote:
-The composition comes of to me a touch awkward. My eye is led to that fence and dome on the horizon, but the tree blocks it. A little lower of an angle would have the tree framing it instead of blocking it.
-The grass comes off to me a little too strong. I often reduce the yellow component in foliage so it does not come off with that overpowering punch.

Considering I gave this a 10, I hope you are flattered that I thought this was Barry's entry. Please accept this humble shoehorn award, recognizing the injection of some much needed humor into a non-humorous challenge topic.

Originally posted by spiritualspatula: My first inclination is to think this is an entry from Yo_Spiff, though I can't say I want to know why you have a barbie (assuming I'm correct). Regardless, amusing shot.

Oh, this is even better! You were mistaken for me! Wish I had thought of it. Yes, I would have naked Barbie's around the house. I have girls. At one time my house held the largest naked Barbie collection in Texas.

You got robbed. This was one of my 10's. Wonderful play of light and shadow. I wasn't sure what he was supposed to looking at, however. It looked to me like a librarian poring over an old book.

For some reason, I feel like having a beer right now.

Harsh onboard flash is the major thing that is hurting this shot. It is a cute catch of the moment, however.

Dark and mysterious. Looks like an alien landscape.

Not finding much here, I'm afraid. There is nothing in clear focus and the subject being shoved over in the frame does not seem to work well for this.

Nice big one, for sure. Not sure I could manage one that big with a little bubble wand. Photo is an average snapshot, I'm afraid. Grainy and soft. Also, the harsh midday sun causes overly bright highlights.

Not sure what to suggest, but I don't think there is much that could to be done to help this shot. Best thing might be to reshoot it in better light. Sorry to be so harsh, but I feel I can't leave a lowball vote without also leaving an explanation.
