This is an absolutely beautiful photo, but I'm not sure if it meets the "no children" part of the challenge. I still love it. The texturing of that sand on the toes is very well done! Sepia works very well here. I'm going to give it 10 anyway!! - lisae
I like the contrast between a grown foot and a young foot, but wasn't the challenge w/o children? I'm probably being picky. Parts of me thinks this is a sepia shot and parts think it's really color, I guess I can't tell. This is an interesting shot and very well done, focus is great. Ouch on the cropped toes. 6 Swash
Uh - oh - part of a child here. Otherwise it's a great photo. Why doesnt jr's foot have sand on it too? Would have linked the two together. Love the sepia tone. Nice focus and interesting light. 8 - floyd
This shot and subject are wonderful. I don't quite see how it fits the challenge, but I could easily see this as a photo in a gallery of an accomplished professional. I'd advise you have it enlarged and hang it prominently in your home.
I really like this photo, especially the sepia, however, I do not consider it to be within the spirit of the challenge -(without having a child in your picture). lhall
This is a lovely shot. Hope you don't get marked down for including a child's foot *gasp* :o) Nice lighting and composition. Only complaint is that fuzzy toe since the rest of the shot is in such nice, crisp focus.
For all that I love the detail of the sand on the big foot, I do have this fear of naked feet (I know I know) and I am finding it REALLY hard to look at those toe nails. I am persevering for short bursts at a time and writing this in Word to copy paste it into the comment box. :) The child's foot seems a bit of an afterthought in terms of positioning and might be better without the towel/ trouser over the leg. I'd also prefer the background to be consistent on either side... 5, Kavey
I am not clear on the rules of this challenge, it says no children in the photo, however you have a childs foot in the photo. I am not sure if that inclueds parts of children or not. I would THINK it also means no children body parts as well, but since it's not really clear on that, who am I to judge? So, setting that aside, I like this idea behind this photo. I like the color and the angle. Good luck in the challenge.
Great composition, texture, balance, contrast. Excellent. Nitpick : it would be even more perfect if the toes in the foreground were in focus. But, top ten anyway.
Well, I am not sure if a child's foot is within the rules but I guess I don't care too much! I like the sepia tone of this photo and it brings out the sun and sand well (in my view). Well done.
Although I really like this photo, it's a stretch of the challenge for me. I know you're probably fed up with hearing that, but there it is again. Sorry. I like the sepia decision. I really like the sandiness on the feet. I like the bright spot on the top of the adult foot and I like the texture in the towel. The child's foot doesn't even really bother me, although I think technically, it shouldn't be there in a tight challenge interpretation. What bothers me is that I don't see childhood in the photo. Still, I'll think on it, and may come back. 6 for now. just-married
It was my understanding that children shouldn't appear in the submission.? This is a nice image though and I like the sepia toning. The emphasis seems to be though on the foot of the mother. If I wanted to be a stickler about it I would say this conveys motherhood more than childhood. 6 Journey
I like this picture, the overall color theme gives a contemplative mood to the whole thing, the sand on the foot ties in with the texture of the terrycloth towel,I'd like to see it just a little bit farther off from the subject, though.
This is a VERY nice photo.. I love the color choices and the composition is also excellent... this is DEFINITELY a keeper. In the spirit of this particular challenge, I believe this photo fails. It does not contain a whole child, but just part of a child. I think this is borderline and I feel sure that you will receive other similar comments this week... - jmsetzler
