I thought and hoped this would finish higher - but I was afraid of the "just a shoehorn" votes. I love the lines and the idea of the loss of music . . . Gave it a 7.

GAP2012 seems to be just trying to follow the challenge description, which sure sounds like the card should include the family or at least a member of the family. I was wondering how to do this without it being obvious that it was my picture. So, I borrowed someone else's children...

I voted fairly high on this one because of its creativity - but, I think that you really needed to be a Trekkie to "get" it.

Originally posted by RyanWareham: wow Gap, for all the "not meeting challenge" comments you've left so far, this one actually has a family member in it and it still doesn't meet it for you. gotta say, that's pretty harsh. Yeah, it's not the majority of the card, but it's a family member in the card and it's the wonder of a child's imagination at play in the other scenes. What's more magical and christmas-y than a child playing with toys?

yes it had one member of the family, and i thought it a better attempt than a lot on this challenge, just i felt the challenge was about you(the photographer) or your Family(plural) if it had said any other member of the family? and you cant see the childs wonder in his face or inquisative look... so for me yeah it didnt meet challenge like i dont think second place was worthy either compared to family ones.. i know it sounds harsh im not trying to be...
