These are both of my boy and are taken just around a week apart. We traveled to Florida with our friends (2 dads and 5 kids under 6 years old on a 20 hour one way trip - whooh hooh!). But it was cool to have both of these images up for vote at the same time. Scenes like this back to back wont happen very often.

A strong impact, and lovely seascape colors, as it makes me wish I was there..... I love the business of the birds and the small child just completes the scene...... Awesome colors and natural lighting.....
At first glance (I don't vote on first glances) I wasn't sure I liked the overall composure. Then, after a look, I absolutely love the stop action in this. Fantastic!
Excellent capture of energy and expression - most important aspects of an image. 8 from me, it just feels like the lighting is too harsh, the image too contrasty and maybe a bit over-sharpened as well.
Very nice image. I love that his foot is up as it shows the motion of the run. Seems almost unreal sharp on first viewing. But I don't think I see any halos so I guess it's just the extremely bright lighting combined with a polarizer. (I think?) And of course the burst of winged activity from the center of the image makes the shot.
I like it lots. The lyrics of that song cover a lot of space and I have no idea how they piece together but who cares...primo drugs and alcohol, you know.
You've captured very well, the feel of the music which I like, far better than most.
This is a very busy photo. The kid is the obvious subject but then my eyes dart around the birds as well thinking they might be the subject. My eyes then dart to the seaweed on the beach and I follow the line of seaweed back to the boy starting the whole process again. I'm thinking a little tighter crop might fix some the of that, perhaps eliminating the seaweed and perhaps even some of the foreground birds.
