" Dear God... "

Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And i pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
'cause they don't get enough to eat

LOL... I've never seen this at the beaches I go to! To bad it's a week early for backsides!

This is a great capture! Best I've seen so far. I even like what I would normally say was a cluttered background because it puts it all in perspective.

A touch of fill light (flash?) would really help this to pop.

Oooh. Nice capture (I love soft focus when done right) but I'm afraid that this is to 'posed' looking to score well in this challenge.

This definately meets the challenge but I don't see a lot of interest value in it. I'm not sure that your choice of title helps out much either. ;-)

Graduation

This photo has a lot of problems with it that come from (IMHO) a probable combination of three facters. It looks like it was indoors in a very low lighting situation. This makes your camera want to shoot at a higher ISO (causing more noise). It looks like you were probably zoomed way out (causing loss of sharpness which you want to try and fix with sharpening). It looks like a very tight crop (makes the noise in the shot even worse and makes it harder to correct colors and such because of the lower amount of data). How do you take better shots in these situations? Kinda depends on your camera. Without that info I can't give good suggestions but if you post this in the forums after the challenge is over I'm sure you can get a lot of info to help in the future.

Ouch, this is the very worst time of day to try and take really good photos. The lighting is very harsh here and makes it seem kinda flat and over exposed. Nice take on the challenge though!

an afternoon at the brewery

This is the second shot so far this challenge where the first thing I saw wasn't the subject but the person that is chopped off at the edge of the shot. I think that this would have been more powerful if you had cropped the person and kid off the left of frame and given it a more common rule of thirds type of composition. Still a very nice and difficult capture with the lighting conditions.
