A tad overexposed on the shoulder and hand (it blows away the shape of this dad or uncle figure). I like the tilted angle, though.

i've got a pal who volunteered to teach photography to little kids. he said the neatest thing was their perspective - photos taken from 2 or 3 feet off the ground. nice job catching that.

As an adult, this perspective is certainly different isn't it ? I like the b&w treatment. I don't know that this photo would "stand alone" in conveying the "childhood" message, but within the context of the challenge, I like the photo. lhall

Good use of perspective. Exposure a little overdone for me

Cool image. Well done. Love the angle of the figure; and how it rises high above the small child. Love the blurred hand. Image seems a little washed out though in places; wonder whether you could improve that in Photoshop. Prelim: 7 Journey
Update: I do not like sentimental and cute pictures and in this challenge have had more than my fill of those. This picture, however, is so very "sympathetic" (can't find a better word for it). Of all the pictures, this one symbolizes childhood most or what it OUGHT to be.: smiling, protective, secure.... I really love the blurred hand but am a little bothered by how large areas are washed out (duotoning in Photoshop could enhance this image a lot). Hence I can't give more than an 8 for a final score.

obviously the child's view, what a great idea, really makes you think.

interesting idea. I think I would have liked it more had the hand been the only thing in focus. Nice work though.
