			A 'found' pic. Out on my bike, camera close at hand, and saw what I think is damn funny sight...obvously these people are putting in an above-ground pool, slide and all in place...but...ummm...no pool!  Yet!
 
 I know it's an uncreative shot, but I couldn't really go waltzing into a stranger's backyard with a camera, at twilight now, could I?

		| This IS odd. I'd think the pool would come first, then the slide. Hope there are no kids around now to try it out. The image quality seems a little lifeless. I noticed that you used Highlights/Shadows. I find that often seems to flatten the image. When that happens, I like to follow up with an Exposure adjustment, reducing the Offset just a little, and increasing the Gamma just a little. That brings the photo back to life. Anyway this is a fun capture -- makes you wonder. |

		| I find the picture a little weak and even the relevance with the theme is not very clear |

		| sure, a story could be put here, but the image is boring, the lighting is awfully flat, and there is way too much going on to focus my eye. |
