First class shot. This, for me, is what this challenge is all about. This shot has it all; it tells a story, composition is superb, it's sharp and the expressions on the faces are truly wonderful. It's one of the hardest challenges- in my view- that we have had thus far and you have excelledâ€Â¦ (10++) Good luck – if you need itâ€Â¦

So far this is my only "10" -- super job! I love the expression on the guy's face, the background color is unique, and it's a sharp, well-composed image. And it meets the challenge perfectly. If this isn't in the top 3, I'll eat my hat. Great work!

Your pic has way too much blue. Your camera was set on floursent when I think it should be on "flash" without using flash. Use the lowest aperture you got and all this blue haze business will disappear.

Comment by stephan:
Good composition and focus. The DOF (unsharp letters, sharp gumballs) creates a good feel for the depth. I like the uneven (tilted?) lines. The letters in one direction and the "gumballs horizon" in the other. The colouring looks strange and a bit bluish (neon lights?) but it's OK. Not every photo must have the super-saturated and vivid colours. It makes the photo look older which is not a bad thing for a "childhood" theme.
