I just love it when people predict high scores.. so, here's my prediction..
I love this shot, so it will undoubtedly do terrible.. I'm going with a... 5.32 and will place around 46th..
post challenge: whoaaa hooaaa... I was close on my prediction.. For the record, I was going for a Norman Rockwell look and I just can't believe that someone actually saw that during voting and made a comment about that.. It made my YEAR !!! ...

I really love this image, the barn doors along with your child give it such a country flair to it. I really like the naturalness of the grain you added to the shot overall. Your little cowboy is just to cute for words, I am suprised that this didnt score higher.
Norman? (Rockwell) is that you? Can it be? The details in this photo are perfect. The natural grain of the door, the cowboy hat, the shirtless child, the look off to one direction, the jeans, and the willow tail (?) and finally the placement of his fingers within. The only drawback is that I wish the barn doors were a little more parallel to the image sides. Perhaps you were at a difficult angle and my guess is the child would have been turned a bit. Never-the-less, a fantastic photo and truly one that completely fits this challenge!
