A Child's Wish

The background, especially the bow, keep grabbing the attention of my eyes more than wagon because the background is kinda busy and the bow is very bright. I wonder if non-Americans will know that a Radio Flyer is a red wagon.

Inflating for lift off

The balloons give a nice range of grays. I would have liked to see a basket so that the shot wouldn't seem kinda abstract.

The Barn

This is a very pretty scene. It can be hard to get those foreground grasses just right, but I think this is very well done.

I bet it looks even prettier in color!

This is very pretty. I'm not sure if I like the frame. It seems a bit heavy.

I like the lighting, but the crop is too tight. I wish the top of his head hadn't been cut off.

Happynest

The title is strange. Is it a spelling mistake?

The lighting highlight the chest more than it highlights the happy face, which seems to be the focus of the shot, according to the title. Maybe a different black and white conversion would have fixed that by lightening the happy face and darkening the skin.

Immature Fruit

I think I would have framed this shot differently, with all of the in-focus tomato in the frame and less of the not-fully-in-focus tomato cropped out a bit more.

September harvest

In a shot where there are many of the same item, I prefer for the one that stands out the most to be placed strategically in the composition to make it stand out even more so that the eye has something definite to look at instead of wandering from one to the next. I assume the one in the bottom middle would be considered the most prominent, but it competes with a few of the others, like the one in the top right.

Are the circles little tomatoes? The backlighting makes it hard to tell.

Boy With Hot Dog

I agree that this has an "old" feel to it. The boy even looks like he came from the 1920s or so. For some reason, his expression reminds me of what Shirley Temple looked like when she sang : ) I don't mind the darkness too much since his eyes still bring you in. Maybe cropping out some of the background (which is kind of dark) would help even things out a bit too. Nice shot.
