This is fantastic. I gave you a 7 for this challenge :)

I liked the composition, the perspectice, the tones and the success with which you managed to capture the beauty of youth. In retrospect, I should have scored this higher than I did, possibly around the 9/10 mark.

Outstanding shot! Should have done better. In another challenge it would have ranked much higher.

Well perhaps this was so imaginative people couldn't see it as typical "beauty." It was one of my favorites of the challenge - still is!

This really captures the spirit of youth. Fast, carefree and a little unbalanced.

fun shot and unusual camera angle work together to make this an interesting shot

Nice shot, but this isn't saying "beauty" to me. 5 for the quality of the image.

This is both unusual and very beautiful. I like the framing from above - those two heads and those arms and the relationship between them. The sidewalk provides a nice neutral background. The black and white pulls it all together rather than have color emphasize the differences between the boys. The tight cropping emphasizes the movement - and makes you notice how precious and quick the beautiful moment is. 8

The reason I like this photo is because it tells a story somewhere. It's easier to take a shot of still life or something but to take a shot where there may be a story is a little tougher. I just wish the bike was an older bike! ;) great use of b/w to add drama.

I like the composition of this shot a lot :-) Looks nice and crisp. I think B&W was a good choice for this photo.

A great capture from an unusual angle and technically spot on, but not sure about the beauty, sorry. Good luck

Framed a little bit too tightly for my taste, I don´t really appreciate the fact that you cut out both the front and the back of the tires and the top of the boy on the left but other than that I like this image, great tones and contrast and looks like it´s a very good moment you captured there. Good job.

Love the POV, the composition, the B&W. 10 - good luck in the challenge!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm quite sure that there is a special beauty in this image based on the closeness of these two children, but...for me, this image lacks real interest. There are some nice qualities about the photo, such as the wonderful range of gray tones, and the contrast, and even the movement diagonally across the page, but as far as "beauty" is concerned, I fail to see how it applies to this image as an image standing on it's own merit, and without know the people in the photo. <5>

I love the unusual vantage point. A little grainy but well done.

I personally don't care for the angle or composition of this shot, though I do like the use of black and white with this one.
