COMPOSITION- This one made me laugh. It is a great shot going for a humorous look. You've cropped it nicely and the lighting is great. This makes a good portrait shot. Also I like that you've gotten down to his level.

BACKGROUND- It's a little messy with the houses in the back and the wire.

TECHNICAL- The lighting is great on his face. Very natural. The shutter and F-stop are great. I saw a show on TV tonight and you might try using the flash in daylight and see how it looks. It said it brings out color and a little gleam to the eye.

MY OPINION- Cute shot. I thought this was funny. Good job.

challenge met. i like the format and the color here a lot. the title also adds a nice "angle" to this. makes me feel like floating above the clouds, but not too high because the sun is breaking through right at the top of the photo. made it into my top 6 this week. :)

Absolutely stunning! I love the tight crop on this. It's like a shaft of light. The clouds are just gorgeous. A 10 from me!

Isaac On The Twisty Slide

Composition/Content - Trying to capture motion *and* trying to do it with a kid as your subject is a double challenge. Given that, I'm willing to be more accepting of imperfect composition. Nevertheless, I would've preferred a perspective of Isaac where the blue pole wasn't quite in the middle of the frame, and the bright wall (?) in the left corner was absent. I believe that you thought this out and planned the image carefully. I particularly like the reflections in the slide and the detail on the slide surface... bb's???

Background - Wish the blown out wall on the left weren't there. Otherwise I like the tree and overcast sky.

Camera Work - Technical - I don't know what I would've done differently given your selection of subject and composition. That's not meant to be a negative remark. I'm saying that the concept and the composition are simple. Extensive technical creativity is not really warranted.

Digital Processing - No complaints and nothing stands out as wonderful.

Opinion - Ultimately, I like the concept, and I think the execution was fair-to-good. I sympathize, as i've always been frustrated at the results of images I've taken of my kids on slides.

Beautiful!! Looks like a dream. Definately looks untouched by man. The tones are nice, and focus and clarity look good too. I actually like the bright bright light at the top, I think it adds a lot to the overall photo. Good luck in the challenge.

Let me know if you find any (intelligent life forms)! An interesting composition/tint... I almost expect to see dudes playing harps in here somewhere.
