This photo is so emotive and sad. Yes. . .my heart feels desolate even looking at this one. But you did a great job depicting the theme. And I love your composition where you can only see a small part of the mom. Very nice work!

Very nice capture. I gave this a 7 in voting. Obviously it has shadows, but I didn't think it really was about the shadows though. The light rays seem to be what the picture was about. I don't see any real room for improvement, if this was a different challenge it would have gotten a much higher vote from me.

This was indeed one of my favorites in the challenge - I gave you an 8. I love this kind of light/shadow play and it's ever so challenging to capture the rays without washing out parts. Your choice of the angle for composition with only a bit of sky really helps in that respect, I think. Nice choice of a very lush green setting, too. I was thinking maybe you could crop a bit off the left, but when I tried that, I didn't like it as well. It seems nicely balanced as is. Another 6+, another good placing. Even if you did steal the wife's shot and she beat you anyway. :-)

This is an amazingly touching image. Evokes emotion in the viewer.9

Beautiful colors, perfect fit for challenge...only thing I might have changed is it looks like the shirt may be just a tad overexposed.

Well, this is one of the best yet. Love your attention to details (especially the watch the little boy is holding!). Great composition, very well done.
