"They grow up too fast"

Boy, this meets the challenge perfectly! For my taste, a bit less grain would be awesome, but maybe you intended to have the graininess. I really like the tones and the fact that the little girl is looking right into the camera. The angle of the hand and the way you cropped it at an angle adds a nice dynamic to the image.

Very pretty, especially the bokeh in the background.

Progress?

I think this would've been more effective without the barrier in the background, for example if you would've stood a bit to the left (not always possible, I realize). I wonder how it would be without the pole also, such as right up close to the sign, with just a bit of dirt and pavement to make your point.

Progress: Flying with the Birds

I like the simplicity of this a lot, as well as those surrealistic feathery clouds and the bit of pink in them.

Congratulations, Sandy!!! I'm so happy you won a ribbon again - and what an honor to your daughter-in-law and Jackson that you did this. They must be thrilled! Whooooohoooo and way to go!

The centering works well here.

Seeds of Progress

This is so subtle and wonderful! I love how the hand fills the entire frame. The title seems a stretch, but I don't place any weight in that at all. You're getting a high score from me, and if you get what you deserve, you'll have many, many more high scores. I love the counterpoint of the lines between the fingers and the spheres of the seeds. This is a calming image.

The invasion of our Wetlands

Beautiful exposure, ooooooh! The reflection of the clouds is dreamlike. I actually prefer the reflection to the actual clouds - would be awesome with just the wetland, but I guess you have to get the powerlines in there too to meet the challenge :-) The mountain in the background adds a nice bit of interest.

The concept is okay, but the image quality is suffering for some reason. I like the reflections in the building windows.
