 I took almost 400 shots of the kids (Ian, my son and Brittany, a neighbor girl) playing in the sprinkler in our yard. Then the ice cream man came. I had 3 other shots I almost submitted before I changed my mind totally and chose one I hadn't really even paid attention to. Well here goes (crossing fingers)!

Unusual cropping, but I like it. It leaves a lot to your imagination.

I like the idea of this crop, but I'd like to see the other kid's eyes, too. Seeing the girl's forehead/hair wouldn't take away from the effect you're going for.

You know what... the cropping is so cool in this shot. It's brilliant really. Conveys the message perfectly.

The tight cropping works well for this image to focus attention on the one girl and the treat she covets.

love the pic. Like the girl's reaction, and the fact that you only included the lower part of the boys head. Shows exactly what she is reacting to without any distractions. Great job. This is great composition

I like your cropping and the colors are nice and vivid. Not sure it says something to me about the seasons.
