Well, I'm entering this knowing that I'm going to be somewhere in Panama when voting ends and don't know how accessible the internet will be. So I may not see the results until the end of the month. Ahhh! I'm an addict.
This was a genuine moment I caught of my boyfriend and his daughter in the park. I've got another version in which I've cloned out the ball, but I believe I could get a DQ for that.

I've seen people get away with cloning out what I would consider a major element, so you may have gotten away with getting rid of the ball. I'm glad you didn't enter it though. I think it would almost make the environment too sterile, and we all know that when kids are around nothing is sterile, heh.
When I look at this photo it takes me back to when I was that age. I can remember holding on just like that. Dad's calf was firm, yet somehow so comfy and comforting.
They came without warning. From the trees, from the ground, from all the recesses and holes in the earth unguarded and unnoticed, they came.
Diminutive, but no less evil for it, they attacked en masse. Clinging to the legs of unsuspecting passerby, tripping them up and sending them to a horrible and undeserved fate.
They came without warning, and before the peoples of earth could mount a defense, they obliterated us.
They were the Cavern Children, and their time had come.
excellent I love this shot, interesting DOF, great sharpness, fabulous expression on the girl, brilliant choice in the BW, this should hang on your wall, well done indeed. 10 and a fav
Awwww! Terminally cute! The B&W was brave, IMO, yet it flies. The slightly hot areas of her shirt and left foot are what made this a 7 for me and not an 8.
