good focus on the chair compared to the slight blur of the background due to the storm.

Good title, has a stormy/windy feeling with the breakers, interesting and fitting for the challenge.

Bear,

This is an interesting image and very well processed but for me, the addition of the adults in the background actually weakens the emotional impact of this image. IMHO, the strongest contrast to be made with this image is between the size of the toddler and the size of the ocean. Seeing her trying to explore the vast world around her really tugs at the heart strings of this parent.

I am always facinated by how something as simple as cropping can change the emotion and focal point of an image for a person.

I think the cars are distracting and detract from a very fine shot.
