I don't know if I like that big shadow coming across. But I LOVE this picture. This is really great. But what do I know - 9 inspzil...who else?

Maybe a little setup for my taste, but great color. Personally I would've moved the subjects up a bit. I don't think a little less of that lovely blue sky would've been missed.

I think there are too many branches. It's too distracting

It just doesn't have that crispness. Conceptually a pretty good shot.

The angle gives it that Wow thing I think more than anything. If you did that on purpose, good job.

My negative space kind of goes without saying. It was too much space. I was sort of torn between cropping or not. My wife's opinion was to not crop. So I left it as is. I like it better this way. But I think I might have done better if I did. I was lost Sat. before the challenge. I figured if I did turn something in, it would be something too produced and sort of cheesy. I happened to be at a bonfire and saw this shot. I ordered my son to stay still and had my daughter get the camera. I took about 10 of him, fixing the exposure after each one. I took about 10 of my middle son too who is naturally a little more photogenic, but also much more antsy. I saw this one and knew it was the one. Problem solved. Then I submitted it and it started off pretty well. And as the days passed, it went down and down and down. I was hoping to do a little better than 160th place. Thats not something to be proud of. But I like the shot regardless of what you all think. I did get a couple of nice comments too. Thanks to everyone for looking at this. Thanks for the commenters, good, bad or otherwise. I need the comments.... I really don't know what I'm doing good or bad, so they are really beneficial.

I like the shot. I don't know how 'negative' the space is, but the shot is effective.
