| You elicit alot of emotion here. With a bit of motion in the foreground, I feel like I'm about to leap with the person thru the tunnel. Danger! It fills me with that excited fear! Because I'm not sure of the method you used for this, I am having trouble deciding if the rest of the blurriness is because of the motion, or because you used a small aperature number. (doesn't *that* sound technical!) Anyway...gave you an 8. |

| Even if walking the train tracks or listening for the train wasn't a part of someon's childhood, I think the movie Stand By Me immortalized it as a childhood moment. Actually this photo brought back to me the feelings I had for that movie as a child, the empathy I had for the characters. I'm assuming that the person is an adult, filling in to represent a child. (The furry arm gives it away. hee hee) I like him in the photo though many people may complain. I'm sure you've probably been voted down as a result. I only want to say that I think this would be a weaker photo without him in it, so my advice is to ignore and "does not meet challenge" comments you may get. Focus is a bit soft, but for some reason in this photo I think it may add rather than detract. I've gone back and forth on my feelings on that aspect of this photo this week. 6, just-married |

| Great shot, great idea - my only quibbles relate to the sharpness of the overall image and that there seems to be a child in the picture. I think that the shot of the tunnel on it’s own would have been better. |

| Like the idea, but there seems to be a bit of a blur in the shot. |

NO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! GET OFF THE TRACKS NOW ! Good grief boy. What are you thinking? A train comes by and you're nothing but a bloody mess for someone to have to clean up.
Why is there a child in this photo? I like it a lot and the rules says "children" so I guess one child is ok. It looks like almost nothing is in focus either. I have no idea why I score it 8. I guess it's because it is such a good idea and I don't know what I would have focused on either.
After reading your post I am back to review. conclusion---You obviously wanted us to think it is a child ,the title and attire of the person lead me to that conclusion. Would you not agree? What would make one think otherwise?+++no change in score. good luck |

| Is the man blurry or is it the tree. How about the first few rails. Could you have had a soft focus filter on? Why? (for the tunnel effect?) Subtly is wasted on the vaste majority. 6 Swash |

| This might have met the challenge better without a person in the photo. I think you lose the sense of childhood, with an adult in the childs position.... |

| I like the soft focus of this, from camera shake it seems. It creates a sense of tension that complements the composition. This photo evokes a real mood. |

| Go for IT!!! This photo reminded me of astephen king movie. There are a couple that have train tracks in them, and right now, for the life of me, I can't remember which it is, but I'm a huge SK fan, and this has a SK feeling to me. The angle and frame placement is great. the lighting was perfect for this shot. I have to wonder if this is still in use. There are some vines hanging down in front of the tunel. Not like it matters either way, but just curious. I hope you don't get a bunch of comments saying "you're not suposed to have a kid in your photo" Arms are too hairy to be a kid. LOL. Great job on the shot. Very nice. Good luck in the challenge. |

This photo holds a special meaning for me :) Take a look at this if you get an opportunity:

Kids always are willing to take a risk. Is this an old railroad bridge? I initially thought that it was, but it appears that the rails have been removed. the camera angle also gives the impression that that this bridge is on a slope... i would love to hear some details about this photo at your convenience... good work! = 8 - jmsetzler |

| So you were that daredevil kid... neat perspective. I like the blurring on the sides. I've got "stand by me" playing in my head now. :) |

| Real daredevil picture. Not really sharp. Would be nice if the gentleman in front is sharp and the stuff further away out of focus. Anyway i recognize the moment like this. Should i go or not ? |

Assuming this is an adult playing a child, seems a little bit of a cludge to avoid having a child in the photo by having an adult play the part of the child. Would have liked to see your creativity in creating a shot without a child rather than your creativity at disguising an adult as a child! But that's just my preference!
Also seems out of focus to me.
Like the converging lines into the dark mouth of the tunnel.

| Interesting, but I would have left out the person entirely, even if not a child. And... don't use the name of the challenge in the title, no way, no part, no how! The title would have had the same effect just by leaving out the words "of childhood" |

| I like the soft focus. Really give a sense of movement toward the tunnel. Good composition. |

| "Childhood WITHOUT children" I am afraid this doesn't meet that challenge. |

| this picture reminds me of the risk-tqking nature of a child, the mother in me crys "no!' whereas dads everywhere will probably say "go for it!". |
