OK. Let me first of all say that this is not a child (its me) nor was intended to look like a child. The idea of the photo was that, I am in a place where I played as a child reminiscing about my childhood. I guess I didn’t make this clear in the shot and that’s why it suffered. : (

Ok...I know that the challenge says "no children" so I would assume that you would use a small adult for this photo. I am giving you that benefit of the doubt because it really is hard to tell. I like the black and white here, and the angle and focus are great. Lighting worked very well for this photo. good luck in the challenge.

I can't tell if this is a child or not, but to me it violates the spirit if not the letter of the challenge.

This gives me such a feeling of loneliness...... and of course that could well be a part of childhood (I know it was for me). I love photos that bring such an overwhelming sense of emotion, even if it is an uncomfortable emotion. Good work. 8 BAMartin

Great shot... Great composition... And I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that the person there is not a child... I imagine your score is hurting because he LOOKS like a child...Great capture in any event...
