cute scene, there seems to be some smooting in the pp that takes away from the shot

Haha how long did it take to make that? I would've liked to see the textures on the bands a bit sharper though.

Poignant. After 75 years the end has come finally.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Very nice story here and I am a fan of the high contrast - personally I think the blown highlights work really well.

Critical stuff: There seems to be some 'Topaz'-like smoothing going on - most prominent on her top and his trousers; I must admit to finding the effect distracting.

Overall: An engaging image, but one that (for me) has a couple of niggles.

Cute scene, looks like they are buying their Christmas gift for mom. I wish we couldn't see the shoe store though, that's adds a lot of distracting elements to the photo.

I like it. Quite a bit of work. Why did you cut the ball on the left ? And in advanced editing, you could have made the background more even (white).

I like this, but wish the entire left side of the ball was showing.
