Nice colours and the way the Tshirts match the car is interesting. To me (purely personal) this says more about teenage boys and men than it does about childhood (I tend to see childhood as that time when we are young kids, before we hit the teenage years, where we like to consider ourselves as "young adults").

Doesn't fit with my idea of anything to do with childhood.

Just in case anyone's coming back to their comments... bingo to HBunch for getting the intent of the photo. Admittedly, I was on the beach for a week with my 4 nephews and neice in South Carolina. We went out building sand castles one day, and I took a ton of photos. The three verticals in this shot (even though the framing was slightly off -- couldn't crop any more from the right without losing the suit and ending up with a torso floating in from right) kept bringing me back to it, and I let the stopped action and nice arch speak for itself. The DOF was throughout my test shots, using the camera's macro mode for a close-up of the pencil-flag. No screen or anything so technical was involved. The height of the tower in which the pencil was placed and the distance from the tower to the kids translated to the photo. Too bad the tower's molded topography crumbled a bit when I inserted the pencil.

Thanks for all the comments -- on to the next one.

I have mixed emotions on choice of DOF, might have looked to sharpen the boy up either completely or a bit, but that's just my take...

Nice dof choices... Interesting colors and composition... nothing really grabs me, however. 5 sjgleah

Wow, I love a lot about this image. The composition and DOF are the most striking elements. It's odd though that it doesn't really appeal to me visually despite these things. I appreciate your vision.
