		| | My favorite from your portfolio thus far. It's wonderful how the children get their own corner in the frame. Being Basic I know you couldn't have cloned out the bike section there. I like the slight yellow cast adds a nice character to the shot, but the sand just appears slightly overly bright. I wouldn't mind seeing a version where you apply any PP you want to the shot, and just post it it on imageshack(create a free account). You can then post the link here if you want. If you need any help with that, you can PM or as some folks do post a resized original in the forum and let people have a go at it, see which one you like best and try to get that result yourself :)

		| | Tnx for your comments, Send was not orignally so yellow, it was more kind of rose, to leave it like this was not interesting to me, though may be I should not make such strong contast which brings saturation. About the weel of bicycle - I should eliminate it somehow.
 About the content I'm 100% sure, You can read in description above. For me is not just good it's greate to see children discover and learn about life in sand-box.
 Ops, the title should be "Sea of sand".

		| | Interesting composition which breaks a lot of rules, I guess. You'd think one child should be in the lower riht corner, but he's moved to the top right. |

		| | Yellow cast? Kids are kinda scattered about without a particular focus, actually all of them are looking out of the picture which tends to leave a bit empty area in the middle making me wonder why shoud I look here? Sorry, only a 4. Jack |

		| | I love the subject - content is great.  Technically, the blown-out highlights really take away from this shot; contrast too high perhaps? |

		| | Very interesting composition. Sand looks yellow; is that the real color? |

		| | I like the composition quite a lot, the kids playing by themselves and in pairs at the corners of the image. The biggest problem with the image is the colors look a bit oversaturated and yellow. A smaller problem is the bicycle (or whatever it is) in the corner. Maybe you could have taken a step closer to the girl, to be able to crop out the bike. |

		| | The colors are too yellow. Maybe it was an attempt at artistry. Dunno. I just know the color is not working for me. 
 I like the three groups of kids, but I would have left a little more space around the edges, especially on the lower left child.
