Personally, I love it centered and I love the scale of the subject with the negative space. My eye is drawn directly to where you want it it to go. I am a big fan of how negative space can make a picture utterly fantastic! It's really a wonderful, artistic composition.

Great perspective. Love that she is centered right in that tire track.

The overlay works well as a vignette to highlight the sweet little girl. Great warm tones.

Larry, I appreciate your thoughtful comment! Of course I heard about the rule of thirds, but decided to break it anyway :). I like the centered composition here, but of course it is a matter of taste. Color shirts: I tried to go BW or sepia, but (again, to my eye) it did not look as good, the kids were kind of lost there, so I decided to leave it. I did subdued the colors a bit though, maybe I should have done more of it...

I like the scene, but two things bother me. First the two kids are centered in the image. Given the directions they are looking my inclination would be to crop a bit off of the bottom of the image. The second things is that I wonder if this would do better in black and white. The way the filter makes the image look old the color on the shirts stands out more than I think it should. Part of that is because it is the only real color in the image.

Dang. I thought that was a goodman shot. (that's a compliment). Great vignette and funky green tinge to the shot. I like the looming perspective too.
