Nice image and message. Works really well as a postcard.

What a heart warming picture - it made me smile. I love the story it tells. My guess is that you'll probably get some voters nitpicking the fact that the focus is soft, but personally I think it adds to the feel of the picture and gives it a sense of realism. Very nicely done also with the selective desaturation that highlights the subjects. I LOVE it. 10

A friend of mine is doing a free hugs campaign at our school. Love this capture.

This is a fun to look at photo. At first I wanted to say that the postcard text is too small, but it actually works better in an understated manner. The photo, while interesting, is a bit too grainy and blurry for me to be a strong image. Clever use of it though for this challenge. Hmmm. Good luck.

Although I don't think the photo is stellar - blurry, etc. - this is so creative that I've got to bump it up. 6.

Nice idea with the free hugs, but the background is not very inviting with the trash bin.
