Kids in funland. It is good that they can enjoy the simple pleasure of just being alive like this. The whole image works well, so don't worry about the little details for this side challenge so much. Enjoy the little ones while you can, and keep shooting lots of memories like this one.

This thumb kept catching my eye .. now that I've opened it I can see why! The tones are wonderful and there is a fascinating amount of blur in this!

It's like she's doing a charismatic dance and she's totally caught up in the moment.

Reachin' for the Wall....

Comment by BHuseman:
I think this is a great action shot of your friend's daughter. The expression on her face makes me feel as if she has been swimming for a while and is just happy to finally reach the wall. I see where others have commented the lane marker looks more in focus than she does though and it does slightly appear that way. But I don't think that takes away from this photo enough to warrant the score you received. I am happy you got in the top 50, but think you deserved more.

Next time you get to shoot this, make sure your camera is on AI Servo and track her as she is coming in the wall, the whole time when she gets close enough just keep ing clikcing away and I am sure you will catch another great expression, time after time.

Wow Anni, this is beautiful! I have a similar shot that I want to throw away now. The colors are great, and the DOF is perfect.

I think the post really brought this one to laugh (and in a good way). Terrific shot
