great idea i wish the sprayer stood out more. the use of black and white adds nicely to the idea of obsolete

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Nice colors here. Focus is on the design in the fishbowl, and the shallow DOF puts the face a bit out of focus, but that works OK here. Exposure is great, making a nice low key background with subtle detail. Composition isn't bad, but I find the bright arc at the top distracting. I think it would work better if a bit was cropped off the top, showing the bottom parts of the arc on either side but leaving the the middle connecting part to the viewer's imagination.

Although technically fine and initially interesting, this picture really doesn't hold my attention. It meets the challenge, and is certainly not a bad photo, but not a very memorable one either. I look at it, think "cool photo", then go on to something else.

great composition. i think it would actually be stronger with just one child in the shot....at least for this challenge. the lines lead directly to the boy. the girl seems kinda stuck in there.

What a concept! This is certainly a beautiful take on leading lines ... I love the converging lines at the center and having a reward once your eyes reach the center. 9.

Ahhh...a bribe of the kiddies to get utterly submissive participation in the parent's photog hobby never hurt anything. Good shot by the way...I see lines that lead my eyes to your kids...well, they are someone's kids, most likely...and that works in my book. So, was this shot taken looking down onto a deck or standing in front of a wall with carefully arranged and highly acrobatic children?
