Hmmm - good "candid" shot! Oh, wait - we're on "childhood" aren't we?? Only kidding ! ;) I think the photo is terrific, but it does not convey "childhood" to me at all. Maybe the concept is a mother's smile, but I can tell you this - MY mother never looked like that in a bathing suit. lhall

Nice smiling woman. If this was a smiling woman in a bathing suit challenge, you'd win! 7 Swash

The title is the only thing I can get out of this photo that really has to do with childhood, unless you were tying to portray the fact that we never really lose our childhood. I do consider it to "meet the challenge" because there are a lot of possibilities for personal experiences in this challenge. Childhood doesnt smack me in the face here, but that doesn't mean it doesn't for you. So setting all that aside, this is a really great photo. The angle is very nice and the lighting is great. The color of the pool makes for a really great background. The object (person?) in the upper left is unfortunate, but doesn't take away from her smile at all. great shot and good luck in the challenge.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood, and this photo is proof of that.

Sorry, this picture although attractive does not satisfy the theme.
