Grr - another favorite lands mid pack. What was the problem with the voters this time? Not enough feet for them? Lovely image, says so much, those little feet so far off the ground.

Thi is lovely and should have placed higher - I think too many voters get hung up on the crisp image to appreciate the softer ones. Soft is so appropriate for a sleeping child.

I suppose you are going to get low marks because there isn't anything miniature in your photo. True. But it is a wonderful image none the less. Your picture tells a story. We are driving out of a rain storm and into the sunlight. But the oncoming cars are also coming out of the dark because they have their headlights on. The wiper on our window has cleared a path - I say "our" window because of the intimate feel of the image. I fell like I am inside the car. The leading lines are interesting - the road leads out in front of us left to right, but the car driving towards us reveres it and brings it back. The scene is divided rougly in thirds, an effective arrangement. To top third is dark clouds and that is where the rain on the windshield is. the middle third is the brighter future where the wipers have cleared the drops and the clouds are breaking up. The bottom third is wet again, wet smears on the window, wet road. Very well done photo for maybe the wrong challenge - 8

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head!

Cute - more attention to detail would have made it better. take the black thing off her neck (her walkman head phones?) tilt the umbrella so it shows better. Focus on her face and let the background blur if it has to. I think the focus problem might be camera shake, not DOF. Try a tripod, or try metering on her face and keeping the shutter half depressed and recompose the shot. Besides being out of focus, her face is too dark. Since you want the background to look stromy, it would be ok to lighten her a little but not too much. It looks like there are more interesting clouds right behind her head than the clouds you have chosen to show. I love the concept and I love her expresiion and her upward glance. 7
