Playground Lookoutby lx120Comment: It's a very nice idea and I have taken many of these myself, Children love the peek-a-boo and parents find the photos very funny. The main defect I find in this one is that both background and side of the face are extremely bright, so that the head seems to be much larger than life, creating a sort of alien look which is kind of funny but not too flattering to the toddler. Unless obviously it was deliberate. Unfortunately segment metering ofen plays that trick on me and using spot metering with a fast moving child can make you loose the perfect expression while recomposing. Did you tried cropping to exclude the right hand and upper-left hole completely? |

Turboby amnonComment: I like it but I think a less busy, or more out of focus, background would have helped. Perhaps using slow shutter speed and panning, could have worked if you wished to convey the feeling of speed? This is a subject I have seen portrayed quite effectively using a frontal, pretty low on the ground angle, which allows showing more of their faces. Another angle that I think would work very well would be from an elevated spot, particularly if you have side lighting and an interesting pavement. |

Who Sharted?by Dirt_DiverComment: Very nice expression and beautiful eyes. I don't like too much the reflection of what looks like a ringlight, as it obliterates the pupil completely rather than adding a nice spark to the eyes. |

Ache.by herfotomanComment: I really appreciate the effort to convey the concept, and the idea is also pretty unique in this challenge. However, I actually had to read the title to grasp the idea. Different people might find it much more immediate than I did, though. Well done! |

Baby Bluesby idreaminpixelsComment: I like the pose and expressions very much and the background is not distracting. I see a strong orange/magenta cast though, which spoils it a bit for me. The 'lower than the eyes' view point works for me. One way I have seen this kind of image framed/cropped is by closing in further, excluding the background completely and making the eyes and the joined hands the only subjects. I found that it works great, provided the hands are in good focus. Well done. |

Laying og a creamy cloudby StebbisveinsComment: I like it a lot as for the rendition of the baby, but honestly I am not convinced by the 'cloud' exposed to pure white, in particular the transition between baby and cloud. Possibly a crop to exclude the cloud or no overexpoure so to preserve some detail, along with a brighter background, would have worked better for me. Nice photo! |

Lil' Tykeby BlackboxComment: I like the concept, funny. I wonder if choosing a different point of view could have suggested a relationship between big one and little one ('mummy's little girl" or something to that effect). Good idea. |

Orange and Blueby P-A-U-LComment: I like her expression a lot and the framing too. Title aside, did you tried black and white on this one? I see a slight magenta cast which detracts a bit from the purity of the colours, but it might be my cheap monitor playing tricks on me. Also, I think a more out of focus background would improve the image by increasing separation while retaining the blue tint, as it would a considerable lighter or darker background. Well done! |

Dagnija's Dollby LoViComment: I like the idea. I think placing the inner drops so they look more like coming from the eyes would have improved the shot considerably, as it would have a more drammatic lighting (maybe close to a window on a sunny day). A considerably brighter or darker background could have helped as well. Good idea! |
