Very nice colours in this shot, which contrast well against the dark silhouettes of the trees. However, there appears to be a redish glow to the bottom edge of the photo, perhaps residual from a lens flare, which could be removed by recropping.

beautiful colors. The sun looks huge! The bottom part of the picture is pretty dark and doesn't add much. I think moving the angle up so a bit more of the sky was included while still getting the outline of the trees in the sunlight would have been more appealing. = 7

What I like best about this photograph is the absolute feeling of joy. Don't all children have that when they streak through the house? His posture and the way he is holding his hands just give me a feeling that he is probably laughing at the same time. Good composition and great sense of movement

This is a nice shot and reminds me of many winter sunsets from when I was growing up in Indiana (I left there when I was 18). I would have cropped more of the foreground out of this photo, or adjusted levels to send the foreground and the silohette of the tree to black. You have some jpg artifacts in the grayish area of the sky, but thats near impossible to get rid of. This tree would be interesting shot with the setting sun directly behind the tree as well. Lots of neat things going on here! Good Luck, JD

This is great, but if you could somehow create the motion blur just in the bg and have him in focus then it would be awesome. Sort of like the look you get when you sit in the center of a merry go round and take a pic of someone on the edge of it while it spins. Not sure that's at all possible of course. ;oP I just wanna see this kid!

beautiful color in the sky... a smaller apature or faster shutter speed might make the sun a bit dimmer so we see more color and detail in the sky and less detail of the foreground... maybe.. I would have to try it. :o)

Lovely shot. The soft focus is nice, although I think I would have preferred to see the branches of the tree in sharper relief against the sky. I do like the moody feel of the shot, and overall think it is quite nice. 8. lhall
