This is by far my favorite so far. I love the emphasis of your subject. The super-blurred background really makes the dew or rain drops stand out. 9

I recognise this - I remember recommending this very crop. I think it works really, really well because of that strong diagonal intersecting the lower corner. The toning is a little too orange for my tastes, I think it would better suit a more subtle yellowey-brown sepia-like tone. 9
It's a lovely capture of a moment frozen in time. I'm sure many of us can identify with how utterly engrossed in his own world the little boy is at this moment.

Very cute candid. I really like the diagonal lines of the road and kerb, I'm glad I spotted this one, I voted it too low the first time. Bumping up to a 7.

Comment by swagman:
Excellent shot. Even the background elements are nicely placed in the composition. The only distraction for me is the blossom at the bottom of the image, but I think cropping it out would destroy the balance of the piece.

Guess we can't have everything *grin*

Nice job.

I like the square crop here and the diagonal lines of the curb and bricks.

i like everything about this image except the negative space behind the child. crop off 40% from the left, and you'd have an absolutely killer image. good luck with the rest of the voters!
