Mommy...can I please leave time out?

Well, it is about the only way, save for barking, that a dog can communicate, but not sure it really is language, but we will ignore that.

Nice Portrait, but I find myself looking into the bottom right corner, following the dogs gaze, and finding nothing there.

A completely different look at things, and well executed. Light on this photo is very good.

Love Language

Would have loved to see the expression on the kid, with the dirt smeared al over his face, rather than it being cropped off. I think you lost half the message of the photo with this crop. Also, i don't think the border is adding anything to this shot

I <3 You

A different coloured shirt, so that the hand does not merge into it may have been better, and I can see noise in the shirt as well, which detracts from the really good composition

Language of Music

I like the composition of this. It doesn't follow the exat norms, things are cropped off, but it works for me. The dark, broading of a young kid playing the blues, picking through the music. I think it needed to be dark like it is, others might disagree, but I like it......

Freedom, The Basis of America

hmmmmmm, you have taken a photo and turned it into a political statement..............I will now ignore the title

The light is a problem. The gradiant of light means the F is quite dark, and all attention is drawn to the E at the end. Having more space int eh photo may have helped draw attention to the word, rather than to the individial letters. To me it also appears to read backwards. With the E being both larger and brighter, I seem to read right to left, EERF instead. With the light like this, maybe shooting fromt eh other end, having the F larger (but darker) may have then emphasised the word, instead of all attention going to the letter E

The key to communication

Is there a reaason the T is so far off aligned. Everytime I look at this image, that is what draws my attention. The U is the only other letter that is not lined up...........

The border works to frame this well, the highlights on the keys do work for the most part

Caution Ahead

Nice take on a different way to communicate. Prehaps some extra room at the top of the image, thus moving the flag onto the third line, and the cars onto the upper third line could have made this even better

Music is my language

I like the idea of him being off-centre, however I feel it would have worked better if the space was on the right side of the phoo, instead of the left, as he is facing right........

Different take ont eh challenge topic. Not sure that the image is strong enough at showing it though. This photo could have been composed in a significantly more dramitic way to really sell the story.
