Enchanting colours and light. Very nice composition. Just can't put a finger on it but there's something not quite right. Apologize if I'm wrong but did you layer in the stags?

I keep coming back to this photo. So, can't help bumping it up ; )

Hi June, just realized I didn't leave you a comment on this before. I really liked the creative composition and idea here. One of the most original. Gave it a 7. I would have voted it higher if there didn't seem to be a lot of confusion as to what to focus on. For one, I think the red "burst" should have been in better focus as it's part of the main picture elements. I think the spotted background could be interesting if it was more evenly covered. Not sure the gaussien blur helped. And where there are spots that show up through the red ... would have been better to clone them out IMO.

I like this. It's one of those shots that grow on you being relatively understated but clever. My guess is that you lost some points precisely because of that. Understated is not necessarily bad but when people are going through tons of entries to vote, not having an instant "wow" factor could sure hurt. Just my 2-cents.

Another delightful capture with the bonus of a subtle aura of light around the children! But here, I don't think the colour of the leaves add much to the image. A sepia could work.

Charming! The de-sat choice is excellent.

Love this! Robert Doisneau's images of childhood spring to mind even if it's unintentional. Entering the Tribute challenge has gotten me in the mood of classic greats :)

Ooh, very interesting subject that you've captured exceptionally well. And very very brave of you. I suppose you used a telephoto lens?
