You did a terrific job of filling this long, narrow photo with multiple round subjects. The colors and shapes are very nice. My only suggestion is to crop out the green space on the left. You don't have to use a full 800 pixels, or you could zoom in a bit more on the flowers. But that's minor; I voted this an 8.

Very pretty! Nice job finding a way to fill the long, thin photo with what sees to be a round flower.

Very good textures and shapes. I think I'd like it even better with a little more contrast. Also, you used the long, skinny aspect ratio really well.

I really enjoyed the visual surprise of this photo. At first I thought it was a landscape, then realized what I was looking at, which was then reinforced by the title. Good use of composition and the long shape of the photo, too.

Great, funny title and a good use of the photo's long shape. Black and white gives this an "old fashioned summer fun" feel, too. However, it's hard to tell what this is given the extreme dark tones on all the kids' heads. I wonder what it looks like in color?

Nice use of color and shape, and a good use of the available photo shape given the required narrow crop.

I'm not sure the bit of gray sky is adding to the photo. As I write this comment, I'm scrolled down so that only the building is visible, and I definitely like it more that way. I think the shapes are interesting, and you used the long skinny shape of the image well. But I find myself wanting more contrast - blacker blacks and whiter whites.

Interesting set of objects to explore. You used the long skinny shape well, although I'm caught between admiring it as an abstract and wanting to know what the shiny thing is at the bottom (I'm guessing it's a car).
