One of the better tombstone shots in the challenge. Nice lighting/contrast, and B/W works well here. The crop is seems a little tight would like a little more space above the tombstone.

I'm not sure how the title relates to the photo. The color and lighting a re nice but emotionally it doesn't do anything for me.

Hush Little Baby

The DOF is nice although the background is very busy. I'm having a hard time with the scale on the photo. At first I thought this was a real size trike but then I look at the ground at it looks like bricks so then I'm thinking it's a miniature.

Nice color and DOF. Technically it's a nice photo but emotionally it doesn't do anything for me. Makes me think more of an ad for Guitar Center.

Down By The Seaside

This is a very busy photo. The kid is the obvious subject but then my eyes dart around the birds as well thinking they might be the subject. My eyes then dart to the seaweed on the beach and I follow the line of seaweed back to the boy starting the whole process again. I'm thinking a little tighter crop might fix some the of that, perhaps eliminating the seaweed and perhaps even some of the foreground birds.

Cute idea. The shallow DOF doesn't realy work for me. It kind of looks like the is lipstick on the lemon (orange??) but because it's so blurry it's not clear.

BLACK DOG (older than Robert Plant in dog years)

Nice dog. Really sharp focus on the dog's face. I like the DOF and the colored background. I don't particularly like the dogs rear end being in the background.

I like the idea. I did not initially like the light coming from the top of the stairs but it grew on me. I don't like the shadow along the right edge, it's a little to hard.

Down By The Seaside

I initially did not care for the shoes but it grew on me. It gives you a presence in the photo and shows that you really are "down by the seaside". I don't like that they are dead center and originally thought it would be better to have the feet off to one side but after playing around a bit I think it would be better to crop the left side of the photo.

In Through the Out Door

Cute goats. Whenever I look at this photo my eye goes to the foreground goat. Then to the other goat and then back to the 1st. It wasn't until I read the title that I noticed the door in the silo, and it wasn't until much later that I noticed the barn door. The goats are the subject not the doors.
