I know this is a risky shot for this site, but I have been leaning more towards candid/photojournalistic type shots and less towards set up studio type shots.

I have liked this image from the moment I first saw it. It is definately something different and has a very unique charm about it.

The kids seem to be in good focus and the screen adds to it to give it the feel of canvas like a painting. The only thing I don't like about it is the white specks which probably are part of the screen, but they are a bit distracting and draw attention away from the two children.

Overall the image is good and very orginal, I really appreciate the ogrinality of something like this makes it stand out. Keep up the good work the orginality is unique. =o)

100th place?? Boy was I off this week. This was CLEARLY the best photo submitted, and my second choice came in 90th. This is a stunning photo!! Hey, 100 is a nice round number - Just pretend you are in grade school when 100 meant a PERFECT score!

I hate to not leave a comment when I vote, but this really doesn't grab me and I can't much explain why.

I really like this! The moment I saw it, it made me laugh. Makes me think of me and brothers when we were small. Love the duotoning that you chose, and LOVE that you shot through the screen - it gives the shot a very "painterly" and "old" feeling that I like very much. No doubt you will get some negative comments for this, but I hope that you are proud of this shot!

THe kids are exposed very differently - and the screen just seems to be a distraction to the shot. The composition seems a bit too tight - you've cut the girl's arm and hair off and half the kid's face.

Very unique choice to have these kids behind a screen. And it works well. You avoid sentimentality, give the photo a gritty, journalistic feel, and generally keep the tones interesting. It adds interest, too. Nice work. 10

The expression on her face is good and the skintones are complimentary. I'm not a fan of the screen, at least not with the white flecks that show up in it. Because the boy's face is slightly cropped out it makes it more of a distraction to me, as does her arm. My eyes are drawn naturally to the little girl, and also wondering at what they are looking at. Either having both faces completely in the shot or just the girl's (and not the screen) would have had a better impact in my opinion.

I haven't made up my mind whether I like the screen or not.
