DO I need to recalibrate my monitor ? It looks a bit green.

Aside from that - the exuberance of the boy is so well captured, he is completely focused on the birds.

I was tired of being in love with someone who didn't love me. I felt like I had to cut the connection completely, so I burned every letter and card she sent me. It's kind of awkward burning paper in a dorm room, the burning fragments, sparky and puffy and softly jagged.

That's what this photo reminds me of, those fragments of a lost love burning into light.

I love the movement and the youthful energy and the joy of playing as a kid. However, I'm distracted by the very-low-contrast pigeon right in front of the boy. Could you maybe bump up the contrast a bit so it stands out more?

Attack of the Stroller Kids. Nice real life candid. Lots of little details make this really work.

Very clear, very nice colours, nice text. I might have cloned out some of the spots on the mask.

I too love the duck expression. Great composition with the other one in the background.

Very stunning image, it drew me in instantly with its relative simplicity, yet complex detail on the mask.

This is gonna sound dumb but this looks like it would make a great Christmas card picture. Love the composition and the details on the cone.
