| Greetings and Happy New Year from the CC, this was one of my favorite shots in this challenge. I think you did a great job of conveying an emotive feel, your choice of words is poignant and yet not overpowering the image and concientiously placed. I think you chose a fantastic subject, as you look at this beautiful yound girl I feel compelled to create a story about who she is and how she got to be where she is. Her face reveals such great human tension. Technically the shot is well composed, well lit and sharp. Excellent work, keep shooting. ( Sorry I don't have more criticisms for you, I think the shot is very well done), perhaps an idea would be to try it in black and white or sepia. |

| I have to say hats down to this entry. I feel really weird winning the third place with a droplet of water image... Yours is just truly emotional for me. There were many great posters in this challenge, but in my heart this is the winner for me. |

Not the best 'poster', but without a doubt one of the best photographs I have seen on DPC in my time.
10/10

Looks like the best from me will always be a breath away from a ribbon. But I am pretty satisfied with the ranking and was initially surprised when, on the first day of the voting, the picture was getting good scores.
Anyway, I have yet to submit my original picture and explain my post-processing work (which was very minimal) later. I just would like to say more about this shot. She is a real streetchild. She was almost unaware of my presence when I put a coin next to her but when I aimed my camera at her, she started to hide her face. Upon the coaxing of other steetchildren, the rest of my shot of her have her entire face visible and even with a slight grin on her lips.
This is the reality in the streets of Manila last Christmas. Simple wishes, simple happiness for them. At the end of the day, they retreat back to their shanties with a smile on their faces, thankful for the little blessings they received from kind souls. (I just wish that they are not one of those kids fielded by syndicates.) |

| Beautiful photo... very nice composition. The message in the text doesn't seem to reflect on the face of the subject though. Her mood is sort of gloomy instead of cheerful. 7 |

| Poignant. A few minor flaws (light rectangle around the words and a bit bright on the top of her shirt and her nose), but very well done. The model has a great pose and the setting is perfect. |

| Very powerful message, and a great shot. Think the border is a little over done, otherwise pretty spot on. Top 10 or higher, maybe? |

| What a shot! Would like to see it in bw to add a bit of esthetic beauty to the shot & rawness of the situation. I would also have put the "she does" in regular size instead of parantheticals. Great photojournalism! 10! |

| A very strong marriage of concept and image. I'd actually drop the part in parentheses as it isn't required - let the viewer figure it out for themselves. |

Brilliant shot here on so many levels.
Looking at the picture first, the image of the girl makes us think how lucky we are. The dirt around her legs, feet etc and how she's hiding looking vulnerable.
Then, looking at the title it adds so much, reinforces what I was thinking.
Only little niggles about this picture, the words in brackets might have looked better in the middle of the text? And, I can see a faint box around the text that you have entered.
Great shot, 9/10 |

| One of the most emotional posters in this run. I wouldn't change a thing about the photo itself, but the frame could have been simpler for this kind of message. Also, I think it would have been even more powerful in b&w form. But don't get me wrong, I really love this poster. |
