11th place: very good... but in my opinion it deserved an even better placement!
I gave this photo a 9 (in four contests I haven't given a single 10), because I find that it's wonderful (and, of course, well done) and very, very unusual. It reminds me that famous scene from "The piano" when she slowly went down under the water...

Thank you everybody!
When I chose this photo, I was almost sure that it wasn't a good choice for a contest. Yes, it lacks "wow factor", as one of you told me. But I love it!
CNovack, I tried to crop as you suggests, but the result wasn't satisfactory at all. I like that one can see that the boy is sitting on his father's shoulders.

Beh, visto che il titolo è in italiano, commenterò in italiano: sembra un Modigliani. Per me è un 9.

A great portrait. Maybe you'll find it obvious, but this remembers me Steve Mc Curry's portraits.

Thank you everybody!!
If someone told me that my photo would have placed 9th out of 300, I wouldn't have believed him.
I'm still astonished (I don't know if the sentence is correct, but I think you know what I mean).

Wonderful!
It's a strange kind of cat, isn't it? It looks like a lynx.

It could have been a very good image, but it's almost completely out of focus!

I don't know if it's just an impression, but everything looks blurred.
